Recently, I spent some time reading a blog about how AI is changing the way we approach software testing, and honestly, it reshaped my perspective on automation. I thought I’d share a quick summary of what I learned — plus some personal thoughts on why testers (especially those in automation) need to start preparing now. The blog (link at the end) outlines how manual testing, while still relevant, is becoming too slow and repetitive for today’s fast-paced CI/CD environments. Sure, Selenium and other automation tools helped reduce that effort, but they often require constant updates and still lack the ability to adapt when code changes unexpectedly. That’s where AI in software testing stands out. Instead of just automating steps, AI learns patterns from test runs, predicts likely defects, a…  ( 4 min )

I've always been passionate about technology and sustainability. My goal was to create an application that not only helped people get around but also encouraged them to make more eco-friendly choices. That's how EcoRoute was born – a navigation app that prioritizes routes with lower carbon emissions, suggests public transport or bicycles whenever possible, and even points out nearby recycling collection points. The idea was complex: integrating traffic data, vehicle emissions, public transport schedules, and recycling point locations. It felt like a rollercoaster of APIs and algorithms. I had some prior web development experience, but the challenge of building a robust and scalable architecture felt a bit daunting.

Ever made a typo in your commit message 😅 or forgot to follow proper commit message standards (like I did)? Don’t worry — renaming commits is easier than you think! ✅ 1. Using Fork (Interactive Rebase – GUI method) 1️⃣ Open the repository in Fork rework instead of pick. --force if it was already pushed ✨ Super simple — perfect for visual thinkers, right? https://git-fork.com/ ✅ 2. Using Git commands (Terminal) 🔄 To rename the most recent commit: git commit --amend 🧹 To rename older commits (via rebase): git rebase -i HEAD~5 # Change 5 to however many commits you want to edit Replace pick with reword for the commits you want to rename Then press: Esc → :wq → Enter to save and exit Git will then prompt you to edit each commit message After you're done: git push --force ⚠️ Don’t forget the --force push — if you skip this, your branch may get out of sync or duplicate commits may appear. 💬 Have you tried the Fork method or the command line?

Well, plot twist – I've been secretly obsessing over it for last few days, and the app you see today at darwin-topaz.vercel.app is basically Darwin on steroids. But here's the kicker: it's still ridiculously simple to use. When I first published that DEV blog post about Darwin, I honestly thought maybe five people would try it out, nod politely, and move on. Instead, I woke up to 28+ comments, feature requests that made me go "why didn't I think of that?", and people actually using my little side project for real system design interviews.

TL;DR Postiz - an open-source social media tool that makes $5k monthly. In August of 2024, I was under a lot of stress. I lost most of their revenue by March 2025. I was already a developer for 10 years, and built (and earned) money before online from digital products. So, I decided to build a new product in the most public form possible: open-source. I started building Postiz, an open-source social media scheduling tool with some cool AI features (currently 22k stars). There is a notion that if something exists, you better not build it. However, the opposite is true - there are thousands of social media scheduling tools available, but because I built it open-source, I managed to differentiate myself from the competition. I posted my first post on Reddit's /r/selfhosted, and it went viral…  ( 5 min )

Introduction Last week, my team was forwarded this screenshot from Grafana, which showed a sudden spike in memory usage of our processing service: We were asked to look into it, as the traces were unclear and the spike was causing stability issues in production. Fortunately, the logs accurately pointed us to the document involved in the spike. One of my team members, started investigating the issue and quickly found that the spike was caused by the ZBar library, which we use to decode QR codes in our service. It was unclear to us at first why ZBar consumed so much memory, so I decided to get cracking. So, first we need to understand what exactly is the state of the current QR code processing. Since ZBar does not support processing PDF documents directly, we first convert the PDF to an i…  ( 7 min )

1. Why HTTP Matters to Frontend Developers As a frontend developer, you might not write backend code, but you interact with backend systems constantly through HTTP. Every time your application fetches user data, submits a form, loads an image, or pings an API, it's speaking HTTP. HTTP stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol, and it's the foundation of communication between web clients (like browsers) and servers. It defines how requests are sent and how responses are received. It may sound like a backend thing, but for frontend developers, it's core knowledge. When users say "the app feels slow," or when an API call silently fails, or when data isn’t updating as expected, it’s often an HTTP issue: a wrong method, a missing header, or a misunderstood status code. Understanding HTTP isn't j…  ( 9 min )

Network Topology: Beyond the Diagram – A Production-Grade Deep Dive Introduction I was on-call last quarter when a seemingly innocuous DNS resolution issue cascaded into a regional outage. The root cause wasn’t a DNS server failure, but a misconfigured BGP community attribute on a newly deployed SD-WAN link. This altered the routing topology, causing traffic destined for a critical application to hairpin through a distant, congested peering point. The incident highlighted a brutal truth: understanding network topology isn’t about knowing the shapes in a Visio diagram; it’s about predicting packet flow, anticipating failure modes, and architecting for resilience in increasingly complex hybrid environments. Today’s networks – spanning data centers, VPNs, remote access, Kubernete…  ( 8 min )

Asset tracking is all about keeping a sharp eye on your physical stuff – from the moment you get it to when you no longer need it. Forget dusty spreadsheets or frantic searches; this is about having a clear, real-time picture of every valuable item your business owns. At its core, it gives each asset a unique digital identity, often through technologies like barcodes, RFID tags, GPS, or even IoT sensors. These aren't just labels; they're data points that constantly communicate. For example, a barcode helps you quickly scan items in and out, while an RFID tag lets you do lightning-fast inventories without even direct line of sight. GPS tells you where your vehicle is in real-time, and IoT sensors can even report a machine's temperature or vibration, giving you insights into its health. The big win? This level of visibility means you can: Stop Losing Things: Fewer misplaced tools or "ghost assets" that exist only on paper. Boost Efficiency: Quickly find what you need, allocate resources better, and avoid costly delays. Optimize Usage: Understand how often and how hard assets are working, so you can make sure they're pulling their weight. Simplify Audits: Generate accurate reports instantly, making compliance a breeze. In short, asset tracking empowers businesses to manage their physical resources with precision, leading to significant cost savings, improved operations, and a lot less stress.  ( 3 min )

Hello everyone, I’m facing a frustrating issue while trying to upload my Flutter app bundle (.aab) to the Google Play Console. My app targets SDK 34 (Android 14) as required by Google, but I keep getting this blocking error related to the Play Core library: The problem is that Flutter currently includes this exact version (com.google.android.play:core:1.10.3) automatically as part of its Android build, especially for deferred components, even if I don’t explicitly use Play Core features in my app. I’ve tried: Building with flutter build appbundle --no-deferred-components Excluding play:core from Gradle dependencies Updating Flutter dependencies like in_app_update to their latest versions Adjusting Gradle and Android plugin versions Targeting SDK 33 instead of 34 (which works for upload but is rejected by Google Play Console as too low) Unfortunately, none of these attempts solved the issue. Google Play Console blocks the upload because of this Play Core incompatibility with SDK 34, but Flutter forces this dependency and does not yet support a newer compatible version. My questions are: Has anyone managed to successfully upload a Flutter app targeting SDK 34 despite this Play Core 1.10.3 warning/error? Are there any workarounds or known fixes to this issue currently? Does anyone know if Flutter is planning to update Play Core dependencies soon to support SDK 34 properly? Is it safe to ignore this warning/error somehow in Play Console and proceed with publishing? If yes, how? Any advice or shared experience would be greatly appreciated! This is blocking my app release and causing a lot of frustration. Thanks in advance!  ( 3 min )

JavaScript, being a single-threaded language, can only process one task at a time. This can result in long wait times for complex tasks, as the script will be blocked from executing any other tasks until it has been completed. To tackle this, JavaScript offers asynchronous programming, which allows the script to continue executing other tasks while it waits for an asynchronous task to complete. In this blog, we’ll explore the basics of asynchronous programming in JavaScript and how it can be achieved through the use of callback functions, promises, and async/await. A callback function is a function that is passed as an argument to another function and is executed after the main function has been completed. Callbacks are used in asynchronous programming to wait for a task to complete before…  ( 5 min )

Written by Jakub Hrozek and Michelangelo Mori We’ve been developing ToolHive to run and deploy MCP servers in a safe and consistent way. So, we are constantly asking ourselves, "how can a client use an MCP server more securely?" Recently, that led us to two more specific questions: How do we maintain accountability and an audit trail when acting on behalf of users? How do we serve multiple users with different access levels from the same client? In this post, we'll illustrate how you can address these questions with the help of token delegation and an MCP server orchestrator. It should be noted that we ran this exploration before the recent update to the MCP authorization spec. The update does ease things a bit, especially by making the MCP server an OAuth 2.1 resource server. That said,…  ( 8 min )

SwiftUI Layout Guide: Master VStack, HStack, ZStack & Grids in 4 Minutes So here's the thing - when I first started with SwiftUI, layouts were my biggest headache. I'd spend hours trying to figure out why my views weren't aligning properly, or why my grid wasn't behaving the way I expected. VStack, HStack, ZStack, Grid, LazyVGrid... the options seemed endless, and honestly? The documentation didn't always make it clear when to use what. After building dozens of iOS apps and making pretty much every layout mistake possible, I've finally put together a comprehensive guide that covers everything you need to know about SwiftUI layouts. In this 4-minute tutorial, I break down: VStack & HStack fundamentals - When to stack vertically vs horizontally Alignment and spacing control - Making your l…  ( 4 min )

Come ho creato TrovaMi.pro con l’AI (in 48 ore) 📌 TL;DR: Ho creato TrovaMi.pro in 48 ore sfruttando l’intelligenza artificiale per aiutare freelance, agenzie e professionisti a trovare lead validi e analizzati. È un tool semplice ma potente, nato da un bisogno reale. E no, non è l’ennesimo CRM. Tutto è iniziato da una frustrazione. Ogni volta che dovevo trovare nuovi clienti, perdevo ore su Google, Google Maps, Pagine Gialle, forum, gruppi Facebook... sempre la solita storia: informazioni incomplete, siti non aggiornati, recapiti sbagliati. Mi sono chiesto: "Ma se esistono tool per tutto, perché non esiste un tool che trova per me potenziali clienti, li analizza e me li propone pronti per essere contattati?" Boom. Nasce l’idea di TrovaMi.pro. TrovaMi è una piattaforma web (Next.js + S…  ( 4 min )

Creating graphs or visuals in the early days of computing, particularly with limited resources like line printers and languages like FORTRAN, required a combination of ingenuity, creativity, and leveraging the tools available at the time. During the 1950s to 1970s, when graphical displays and plotters were either non-existent or prohibitively expensive, programmers and engineers used text-based methods and rudimentary hardware to produce visualizations. Here's how they managed to create graphs and visuals under such constraints: ASCII Art and Text-Based Graphics on Line Printers: Line printers, which were common output devices in early computing, could only print text characters (letters, numbers, and symbols) in fixed-width fonts, typically on continuous paper. To create visuals, progra…  ( 7 min )

As an engineer working with conversational AI systems, I’ve seen firsthand how retrieval latency becomes the bottleneck at scale. Recently, I explored architectures for real-time search across fragmented communication data—Slack threads, Zoom transcripts, CRM updates—where traditional databases collapse under metadata filtering. Here’s what I learned. 1. The Unstructured Data Nightmare Modern tools generate disconnected data silos: Meetings: Nuanced discussions, action items buried in transcripts Chats: Sparse, jargon-heavy snippets in Slack/MS Teams Emails/CRM: Semi-structured but context-poor updates Querying “positive feedback from engineering one-on-ones last quarter” requires cross-source correlation. SQL? No-go. Elasticsearch? Struggles with semantic relevance. When testi…  ( 4 min )

How Social Media Feed Algorithms Are Controlling Your Brain (And Your Dog Video Addiction) “If you're not paying for the product, you are the product.” — Classic internet wisdom Is a Feed Algorithm? It’s the code that decides what content shows up in your social media feed. It's basically the DJ of your digital life — except instead of spinning beats, it spins reels, tweets, thirst traps, conspiracy theories, and cat memes. While each platform has its own secret sauce (spicy and a little manipulative), the general ingredients are: Engagement-Based Sorting Likes, comments, shares = “🔥 this is hot, show it more!” User Behavior What you click, scroll past slowly, pause on, or rewatch.

In an era of rapid advancements in AI computing, 4K video production, and blockbuster gaming, storage devices are facing unprecedented challenges. No matter how fast a drive is, if it lacks endurance, it won’t be able to keep up with the demands of these high-frequency read-and-write scenarios. That’s why TBW (Total Bytes Written), a term that may sound unfamiliar to many, is becoming a key factor for users to consider. TBW measures the total amount of data an SSD can write over its lifespan. It not only determines whether the device can handle high-intensity operations but also directly affects the safety and reliability of your stored data. So, how do you know if a TBW value is sufficient? Among countless SSD options, how do you pick the right one for your needs? This article will provide the answers you’re looking for. Why Is TBW Important? For home users or light office tasks, TBW may not be a critical factor. However, for enterprise users or professionals who frequently write large amounts of data, choosing an SSD with a higher TBW is crucial. Applications like big data processing, video editing, and intensive computational tasks demand a high level of endurance. The Relationship Between TBW and SSD Performance How to Choose the Right SSD Conclusion Whether you’re an individual user or a business client, selecting an SSD that matches your workload is a key step toward optimizing your storage experience.  ( 4 min )

Sticking with COBOL instead of migrating to a modern language like C++ can result in missed business opportunities due to limitations in flexibility, scalability, and alignment with current technological trends. While COBOL excels in certain legacy environments, it can hinder innovation and growth in several key areas. Below are specific business opportunities that might be missed by not moving to a language like C++: Limited Integration with Modern Technologies: COBOL systems are often not well-suited for integration with cutting-edge technologies such as cloud computing, mobile applications, APIs, microservices, and IoT (Internet of Things).

Automate Your Cloud: A Deep Dive into the DigitalOcean API Imagine you're a DevOps engineer at a rapidly growing e-commerce startup. You need to quickly provision servers for a flash sale, scale your database during peak hours, and automatically roll back deployments if something goes wrong. Manually clicking through the DigitalOcean control panel for each of these tasks is slow, error-prone, and simply doesn't scale. This is where the DigitalOcean API comes in. Today, businesses are increasingly adopting cloud-native architectures, embracing zero-trust security models, and managing hybrid identities. Automation is no longer a luxury; it's a necessity. According to a recent Flexera 2023 State of the Cloud Report, 77% of organizations have a multi-cloud strategy, and automation is key to…  ( 10 min )

We can manage, update, restart, and scale each Docker container separately. That's the beauty of containerization. Each container should have a single responsibility. PHP, Java, NodeJS - each of those does one obvious thing. Creating containers that include multiple services is considered an anti-pattern. The Single Responsibility Principle doesn't apply only to our codebase. But does it mean that we must not create such anti-pattern containers just because it violates SRP? I believe there is a one good reason why we can violate it, and let me show you that. Let me describe the problem I encountered.

Hey devs building B2B SaaS—quick question as I tweak my AI outfit transformation tool’s onboarding:​ When it comes to freemium/free trials, what’s your go-to strategy?​ 1.Free credits (letting users test real usage, no countdown)?​ 2.Time limits (e.g., 14 days of full access to hook them fast)?​ 3.Feature-gated tiers (core tools free, advanced bits locked)?​ 4.And the juicy part: What tradeoffs have you hit? Did time limits feel pushy? Free credits get abused? Feature gates confuse users?​ For context—my tool lives or dies by that "wow" moment when users see their first transformation. Trying to balance generosity (so they get the value) with protecting the product.​ Curious to steal your hard-earned wisdom.  ( 3 min )

world war II was raging.  meanwhile two guys - mcculloch and pitts - sat down and asked a weird question: can we describe the brain… using math? we were trying to decode ourselves. they weren't coding. they were dreaming. it didn't do much. it couldn't learn. but it was enough to start a fire. they sparked a new kind of thinking… one where intelligence wasn't magic or soul or mystery… fast forward to 1950s… but nobody could even define "thinking." in the 60s, we tried rule-based logic. in the 80s, we returned to neural nets. in the 2000s, we gave up again. then came 2012. a deep net beat everyone at recognizing cats on the internet. we taught sand to dream in probabilities. we made silicon hallucinate. we layered millions of artificial neurons and whispered billions of words into them. today, we have chatgpt. tomorrow… god knows what. that's why i have created boringskool.  we're not here to predict the future. we're here to trace how we got here… and how to ride the next wave with eyes wide open. our first video is out now. it's not a tutorial. it's a story. the truth is, this isn't just about ai. and then ask yourself: this is the first video i've ever put out. and if you're reading this…  it means the world. seriously. your support right now isn't just clicks or views… it's momentum. it's what keeps this thing going.  boringskool isn't backed by some big team or fancy funding…  so if this video hits something in you… share it, talk about it, reply.  this is just the beginning.  ( 4 min )

— Why Some Benchmarks Miss the Point, and What We Should Really Be Comparing Recently, an article titled “We Threw 1 Million Concurrent Users at Go, Rust, and Node.js” made waves in the webdev world. Its conclusion? Node.js is obsolete. Go and Rust crushed it in a massive load test, with Node dropping connections left and right. At first glance, the results seem compelling: Node.js lagged behind, struggled with memory usage, and had higher response times. But dig deeper, and you’ll realize: This isn’t a case of Node.js being bad — it’s a case of bad testing design. Let’s break it down 👇 The author created a backend route /order, wired up to PostgreSQL, Redis, and an external API, then implemented it using Node.js, Go, and Rust.

How a single MacBook trackpad turned my “smooth” calendar into a time‑machine. Trackpads don’t emit smooth, predictable scroll deltas. A single swipe often starts with sharp spikes (e.g. …17, 67, 82…) and transitions into a decelerating phase. But just when it seems to be tapering off—boom—a rogue value can pop up in a sequence such as …17, 15, 13, 26, 12, 11…, throwing off gesture detection. A reliable fix is a two-phase filter: first, ignore all events for ~100ms after a gesture begins; then, during the deceleration phase, compare the last three deltas—not just the current and previous—to ensure values are consistently tapering. This approach prevents unintended jumps. I built a calendar where swiping up/down flips between months. Mouse‑wheel testing felt flawless. Trackpad testing, howe…  ( 6 min )

Today was my first day in Java class at my institute. We started with an introduction to Java and discussed its features. Here is what I understood Java is easy to learn and use. Its syntax is simple compared to C++. It doesn’t have confusing concepts like pointers, so writing code becomes easier. Java is fully object-oriented. Everything in Java is treated as an object. It uses concepts like: Inheritance – using existing class properties in another class Encapsulation – hiding data using private variables and public methods Polymorphism – performing one task in different ways Abstraction – hiding unnecessary details from the user Java is a secure language. It doesn’t use pointers, so no one can access memory directly. It checks the code during both compilation and runtime to avoid any se…  ( 4 min )

Understanding a database starts with understanding its structure. For PostgreSQL users, one of the most effective ways to visualize and manage your schema is by using an Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD). Either if you're working with a large legacy database or starting something new, an ER diagram shows how your tables are connected and how your data is organized. In this article, I'm using DbSchema - a visual database design tool that’s free to use for creating diagrams. You can also generate HTML5 documentation (up to 12 tables in the free version) and explore features like Git integration with a 15-day trial of the PRO edition. We’ll cover two main workflows: Reverse engineer your existing PostgreSQL schema into an ER diagram Design a new schema from scratch An ER diagram (Entity-Rela…  ( 6 min )

Keeping string data accurate is a routine but critical part of working with databases. SQL’s REPLACE() function lets you update one string with another directly within your query. Whether it’s correcting typos, rebranding statuses, or rolling over a year reference, REPLACE makes it easy and efficient. Examples of SQL REPLACE in Action Standard syntax: REPLACE(column, 'old_string', 'new_string') Change a year value UPDATE products SET description = REPLACE(description, '2023', '2024') WHERE description LIKE '%2023%'; Update product status UPDATE products SET status = REPLACE(status, 'On Sale', 'Discounted') WHERE status = 'On Sale'; Case-insensitive replacement UPDATE employees SET job_title = REPLACE(LOWER(job_title), 'technician', 'engineer') WHERE LOWER(job_title) LIKE '%technician%'; This ensures consistency regardless of input case. FAQ Can REPLACE work on columns with NULLs? No. If the value is NULL, REPLACE skips it. You can use COALESCE() to default the value and avoid this issue. Yes. Major databases support it, though PostgreSQL users may also explore REGEXP_REPLACE for pattern replacements. Use nested functions: REPLACE(REPLACE(column, 'old1', 'new1'), 'old2', 'new2') Yes. You'll need to convert to lowercase or uppercase manually if you want to ensure a match regardless of case. Conclusion SQL REPLACE() is a simple but highly effective way to keep text data accurate and clean. From handling simple find-and-replace operations to transforming columns during updates, it’s a tool every SQL developer should know. To explore its nuances across platforms like PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQL Server: Read the full REPLACE guide: SQL REPLACE Function: A Comprehensive Guide.  ( 18 min )

🔄 Understanding Interactive Transactions in Prisma Interactive transactions in Prisma allow you to execute multiple queries in sequence so that either all succeed or none do. This ensures atomicity, a key part of the ACID principles meaning either the whole transaction happens or nothing happens at all. In Prisma, you can use interactive transactions via prisma.$transaction(async (tx) => { ... }). The tx object is a special TransactionClient, passed to all queries inside the function, and it ensures that they run within the same transaction context. const result = await prisma.$transaction(async (tx) => { const user = await tx.user.create({ data: { name: "John", email: "john@example.com" } }); const profile = await tx.profile.create({ data: { userId: user.id, bio: "Softwa…  ( 5 min )

Part of my series on contribution to Open Source project. Moodle is web-based open source learning platform aka. Learning Management System (LMS) written in PHP. I also encountered it at Azrieli College of Engineering in Jerusalem when I taught the Open Source Development Course in a semester. One of the difficulties with such as application is that when you encounter a problem or when you miss some functionality you don't know why. It is unclear if the problem you encounter is due to the decision of the local admins, due to using an old version of Moodle, or a real issue with that you also have in the development version of Moodle. So you don't know if you need to ask the local admins to change the configuration or you need to ask them to upgrade the version of Moodle or someone really n…  ( 4 min )

If you follow me, you may know that I've been a web developer for over 5 years. To be more precise, I started my career as a web developer and have built multiple websites in different categories for my clients and as an employee. Earlier, there was no ChatGPT or Gemini to help, so I had to write each and every line of code by myself, which was too tedious. Fast forward to today, we have ChatGPT and similar LLM tools to help you with literally every task. And now, I was thinking of building a blog website for myself which I have full control over, can rank on Google, and for more reasons. So I went to ChatGPT and started my research to build a blog website for me. Since I'm a web developer, I have the expertise to ask ChatGPT clearly about what I want and even build a blog myself.

Ok let me get straight to the point — I've been working as a technical writer for a while now, and if you're thinking of getting into it, I'll give you a quick rundown of what you'll actually need — not just the stuff they mention in job descriptions. No, you don’t have to be a senior developer. But you do need to understand how things work. You should be comfortable reading documentation, looking at code, and maybe even running the software locally. Forget flowery language. The goal is clarity. Think: “Click this button” “Run this command” “Here’s what happens next” If a beginner can’t follow your writing, it’s not done yet. You’ll often document features that aren’t fully built or explained. Don’t be afraid to ask developers: “What does this return?” “What’s the default behavior?” “What happens if it fails?” You’re not bothering them — you’re making sure users don’t have to. You’ll likely write in Markdown and push docs to GitHub or GitLab. git status git pull git add . git commit -m \“Update docs\” git push You’ll deal with multiple files, folders, edits, reviews, changelogs, deadlines — all at once. Being a technical writer is about bridging the gap between the builder and the user. You don’t need to know everything, but you do need to be curious, clear, and collaborative. If that sounds like you, you’re already on the right path.  ( 4 min )

Terraform Comprehend: Managing AWS Comprehend with Infrastructure as Code Infrastructure teams face a recurring challenge: integrating natural language processing (NLP) capabilities into applications without creating operational overhead. Traditionally, this meant manual configuration of AWS Comprehend, managing API keys, and building custom deployment pipelines. This is error-prone, non-repeatable, and hinders scalability. Terraform’s ability to codify and automate infrastructure provides a solution, but requires a deep understanding of the service and its integration points. Comprehend, in this context, isn’t a Terraform-specific service, but rather the management of AWS Comprehend resources through Terraform.

Introduction Getting ready for a JavaScript interview? Asynchronous JavaScript interview questions are everywhere in technical interviews. Don’t worry – this guide covers everything you need to know about asynchronous JavaScript, from basic concepts to tricky interview scenarios. Here’s something that confuses many developers: JavaScript is single-threaded, but it can handle multiple tasks at once. How does this work? The secret lies in how JavaScript engines work with browsers. While JavaScript itself runs on one thread, browsers provide extra tools that make async operations possible. Think of the call stack as a stack of plates. When we call a function, it goes on top of the stack. When the function finishes, it gets removed from the top. Basically call stack is where JavaScript keeps…  ( 5 min )

In real-world scheduling scenarios, there's often flexibility in meeting times. LeetCode 3440 explores a variation where you're allowed to reschedule one meeting to potentially maximize your continuous free time during a larger event. Unlike its predecessor, the relative order of meetings can now be changed. This introduces an interesting optimization problem that mixes greedy scanning with intelligent rescheduling. You are given: An integer eventTime, representing the full span of the event (from t = 0 to t = eventTime). Two arrays: startTime[] and endTime[], where each pair defines the start and end times of n non-overlapping meetings. You can reschedule at most one meeting (by changing its start time but keeping its duration the same), as long as: The new time doesn't exceed event bound…  ( 5 min )

Creating complex objects, like a custom Car, often involves juggling multiple attributes: engine, wheels, color, etc. Using a single constructor with many parameters is cumbersome and error-prone. How can we build such objects cleanly and flexibly? The Builder Design Pattern in Java provides a solution by separating the construction process from the object's representation, enabling step-by-step assembly. The Builder Pattern is a creational design pattern that constructs complex objects incrementally using a dedicated Builder class. This approach improves code readability, supports flexible configurations, and avoids bloated constructors. Below is a Java implementation of the Builder Pattern for building a car object: Create Car class. public class Car { private String engine; pri…  ( 4 min )

Encryption keystrings are critical components in protecting digital information. Whether securing device communication, authenticating users, or safeguarding sensitive data, a well-designed app must generate strong, reliable keystrings to meet modern security standards. The process of generating these keystrings involves cryptographic best practices, strict randomness, and secure system integration, as implemented in the Device Keystring App. At the core of keystring generation is randomness. To ensure that keys cannot be predicted or replicated, the app uses a cryptographically secure random number generator (CSPRNG). Unlike basic random functions, a CSPRNG sources entropy from secure hardware components—such as the device’s Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) or Secure Enclave—to produce…  ( 4 min )

Most beginners think “database” just means “a place to store data.” But a real relational database is designed to handle way more than that, correctness, consistency, and efficient querying at scale. When you use a proper SQL database, you get: ACID properties (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability): you don’t want to half-update a payment or lose data after a crash. Joins: data in the real world is related. Users have orders, orders have products, etc. You can join tables instead of duplicating data everywhere. Indexes: searching without indexes is like scanning every page of a book to find a word. With indexes (B-Tree or others), you get faster lookups. Data integrity: foreign keys, constraints, and types prevent accidental or corrupt data. Normalization reduces duplication and e…  ( 4 min )

In this guide, I’ll show you what HTML is, why it matters, and how to write your first web page—even if you’ve never written a single line of code before. HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. It’s the language that gives structure to web pages. You can think of HTML as the skeleton of a website. It tells the browser how to organize and display content like text, images, and links. It’s the first step in becoming a web developer. It’s easy to learn, even with no coding experience. It helps you understand how the web works behind the scenes. It’s the foundation for learning CSS (for styling) and JavaScript (for interactivity). HTML uses tags…  ( 4 min )

When you open a file in your program, it seems like you can read or change any byte you want. But in reality, your storage device doesn’t work with single bytes. Instead, HDDs and SSDs read and write data in larger chunks, called blocks or pages, which are usually a few KBs in size. This gap between what software wants (small, random access) and how storage hardware works (large, fixed-size chunks) is one of the most important challenges in computer systems. In this article, we’ll explore: The two fundamental models of data access → block-addressable and byte-addressable. Why storage is not byte-addressable like RAM. How HDDs and SSDs store and access data. How the block model shapes performance and design. This is how RAM (DRAM) works. Memory is organized as a sequence of individual bytes…  ( 7 min )

Understanding for Beginners Terminal for Beginners Hey there, future developer! So, you're starting your coding journey and keep hearing about the "terminal" or "command line." It might seem intimidating, full of strange commands and flashing text, but trust me, it's a super powerful tool that will become your best friend. In fact, knowing your way around the terminal is a common question in technical interviews, even for entry-level positions! This post will break down the basics, so you can feel comfortable navigating and using it. Think of the terminal as a direct line of communication with your computer's operating system. Normally, you interact with your computer through a graphical user interface (GUI) – things like clicking icons, opening windows, and using menus. The terminal le…  ( 6 min )

JavaScript can feel like magic. But magic is just tricks you don’t see. Let’s pull back the curtain on two big ideas: Execution Context and this. By the end, you’ll see why they matter and why you should care. Think of every bit of code as a kitchen. Global Kitchen is the main studio. Function Kitchen is a new room a chef builds each time they cook. Eval Kitchen is a secret room you rarely visit. Each kitchen has its own tools (functions) and ingredients (variables). When you run code, JS picks a kitchen and works there. Creation JS sets all var to undefined. let/const are known but not ready. Execution JS runs your lines one by one. Values fill the blanks. Exit Kitchen closes. Its tools and ingredients go away. I firmly believe that knowing these steps stops 80% of your bugs. this In JS, this is the chef’s badge it tells you who’s cooking right now. Where you are this is… In the global scope The global object Inside a plain function Depends on how it’s called Inside an object’s method That object Inside an arrow function Same this as outer scope function show() { console.log(this); // window in browser } const user = { name: "mimi", greet() { console.log(this.name); // "mimi" } }; show(); user.greet(); “Lexical” means “where it’s written.” Imagine your code as a tree: Global └ main() └ outer() └ inner() Each node holds its own vars and sees its parent’s vars, but not its child’s. That rule is non-negotiable. let x = "earth"; function main() { let y = "home"; function outer() { let z = "door"; function inner() { let w = "mind"; console.log(x, y, z, w); // earth home door mind } inner(); console.log(w); // Error: w is not here } outer(); } main(); Fewer Surprises. You know where your vars live. Clear Bugs. You see why you got undefined or the wrong this. Better Code. You write functions that do just what you expect.  ( 4 min )

Get ready for an absolutely wild story from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD)! Imagine an F-16 fighter jet – one of the fastest, most powerful planes in the world – now running super-smart software thanks to some amazing technology you might not even know about: Kubernetes and Istio. This isn't just a cool gadget; it's a huge change for how the military builds and updates its technology, moving from slow, old ways to rapid, secure, and flexible methods. Before this big change, building software for the DoD was like trying to build a giant Lego castle one brick at a time, perfectly, before moving to the next section. This was called the "waterfall model". If they found a problem at the end, they had to go all the way back to the beginning to fix it, which was super slow. How slow? Softwa…  ( 6 min )

Thanos is a widely adopted open-source project that extends Prometheus’ capabilities, offering long-term storage, global querying, and downsampling. It’s a powerful tool for monitoring and observability, but like any complex system, it has its quirks. Thanos is cloud native and use s3 as its main storage backend. It can have infinite retention contrary to prometheus limitations (15d). One of the most critical risks in Thanos lies in its compactor component, which, under certain conditions, can silently lead to irreversible data loss. This issue is not just theoretical—it’s rooted in real-world scenarios, as highlighted in GitHub Issue #813 and GitHub Issue #7908. If you’re using Thanos, understanding these risks is essential to protecting your historical data. https://thanos.io/tip/compon…  ( 5 min )

I hit a performance wall at work recently after adding a single extra Count() on a Django queryset that looked harmless. Luckily, the problematic code didn't make it into the production environment, but I had to think hard to figure out what went wrong and find a solution.

Imagine we have a PostgreSQL database storing information about separate stores, their departments, employees and products of the stores: The DB tables can contain much more fields, but in our case we only care about relations between the models.

This article was originally published on Rails Designer's Build a SaaS blog. When users access sensitive areas of your application, like admin pages, billing settings, or personal data, it is good practice to ask for their password again. Even if they're already logged in, requiring a password confirmation adds an extra security layer. This article builds on top of basic Rails 8 authentication. See all the previous commits in this repo. Here's a quick example of how to use it: class AdminController < ApplicationController include PasswordConfirmation confirm_password only: %w[index] def index end end That's it! Now users will need to confirm their password before accessing the admin index page. The confirmation remains valid for 10 minutes by default, but you can adjust that: cl…  ( 4 min )

É isso mesmo, sou dev pleno recente, com aproximadamente 2 anos de experiência efetiva na área, perto de completar 3 anos desde o primeiro Hello Word, e hoje me sinto muito bem em quesito carreira, tasks e pessoalmente, mas sempre fui muito critico comigo mesmo, e por isso decidi fazer um desafio interno, acho que meus desafios e barreiras devem ser lançados diretamente ao Higor. Por isso, irei começar a escrever artigos/posts aqui no dev.to para exemplificar o meu conhecimento em alguns conceitos, criar fluxogramas, diagrmas, desenhos e códigos que explicam e relatam o uso de diversas tecnologias.

When your app goes viral or hits a major user milestone, there’s one thing you absolutely can’t afford: your APIs crashing. Whether you're building an e-commerce backend, a social platform, or a microservices-based system with Spring Boot, designing for peak load isn't just a best practice — it's essential. The good news? You don’t need a massive budget or complex infrastructure to start preparing. Often, it begins with smart choices in your codebase. In this two-part blog series, we’ll explore practical strategies to make your Spring Boot APIs resilient and performant under heavy traffic. Peak load is when your application receives an unusually high number of requests — like during sales, promotions, or trending events. If your app isn’t ready, users might see: ⛔️ 500 Internal Server Erro…  ( 8 min )

"Work all day. Build all night." Servus and welcome to Day 3 of my startup journey is here – and today was one of those real-life balance days. I spent the whole day working at my current full-time job (still the main source of income while I bootstrap my company). Honestly, it was one of those days where energy is low but the dream is alive. After work, I finally started laying the foundation for a custom CRM system – a tool that I eventually want to integrate deeply into my own startup workflow and maybe offer as a standalone product. Nothing fancy yet – just some basic layout sketches, data flow diagrams, and initial thoughts on user roles & client tracking. I want to build something useful, not just another bloated dashboard. So here’s my question to you: 🧠 If you could design your dream CRM, what would it absolutely need to have? What features do you wish your current CRM had? What annoys you the most about existing tools? Is it client tracking, email logging, lead scoring, project linking... or something else entirely? 💬 Drop your thoughts in the comments – I’ll read every single one and may even build it in! See you tomorrow for Day 4 – let’s see how far I can get with this CRM prototype. Stay consistent, Jonathan 0xj0n1  ( 3 min )

Building Secure AI‑Powered Apps Building secure AI‑powered apps isn’t just a check‑mark exercise. It directly impacts user trust, brand reputation, and runaway API costs. Here’s what I learned when even simple features opened the door to real economic stranger dangers! The other day I decided to add a feature to my business‑card app. I hadn’t touched the code in eight months, so I figured, what the heck. That “quick change” turned into a comprehensive security overhaul that taught me more about web application security than any tutorial ever has. As a mid‑level engineer I know security matters—my first role was at a cybersecurity company. But it wasn’t until I started building AI‑integrated apps that I saw how deep security has to go. It’s a survival strategy as attacks get harder to de…  ( 6 min )

Tensorflow is a machine learning library that lets you create all kinds of neural networks. TensorflowJS can run in the browser or in node. In this tutorial I want to create a simple classification network, just to get to grips with the terminology, pitfalls and basic workflow of tensorflowJS. A neural network is essentially an algorithm that uses weights and activation functions, which allow it to recognise patterns in the most complicated data. Try it out here! Today's goal is to create a classification network that can learn to recognise dogs, cats and mice by looking at their features: size, weight, tail length, and ear size. We start out with a demo dataset. We have 12 animals, each with features and a label. const data = [ [[18, 19, 5, 14], "dog"], [[17, 18, 4, 13], "dog…  ( 8 min )

You've seen it. I've seen it. The entire tech world has seen it. One minute, we were all impressed by chatbots that could write a poem. The next, we're watching demos of AI systems that can book flights, debug code, and build entire marketing plans autonomously. Projects like Auto-GPT, BabyAGI, and a flood of similar tools didn't just appear out of nowhere. They represent the next logical leap in AI: the rise of the AI Agent. So, what exactly is an AI agent, why is this happening now, and what is this "MCP Server" that acts as its brain? Let's break it down. An AI agent is more than just a chatbot.

Common Browser Compatibility Issues 1. DOCTYPE Error Imagine writing the entire code and missing out on the most basic line! Yes, it can lead to a faulty rendering. Several browsers with outdated versions such as the Internet Explorer 8.0 and earlier often check for the Doctype. In case it is missing, the site will be not be rendered as per expectations. To understand why the doctype is checked, we would have to understand the two modes in which a browser operates. The first mode is called the Strict Mode. In this mode, the browser works with stricter code error checks and making sure that the code adheres to the W3C specifications. The second mode is called the Quirks Mode. The quirks mode was created with an intention of providing backward compatibility to older browser vers…  ( 7 min )

Delta Lake: A Production Deep Dive 1. Introduction The relentless growth of data volume and velocity presents a significant engineering challenge: maintaining data reliability and query performance in large-scale data lakes. Traditional data lake architectures, built on direct-to-object storage (like S3 or GCS), often suffer from issues like inconsistent reads, data corruption, and the lack of ACID transactions. These problems manifest as broken dashboards, incorrect model training, and ultimately, lost business value. We recently faced this acutely with a 500TB+ clickstream dataset ingested at 100K events/second, requiring sub-second query latency for real-time personalization.

JavaScript isn’t just about printing messages or changing colors on a webpage—it also makes decisions. How does it know whether a user is old enough to sign up? Or if a password is correct? That’s where comparison and logical operators come in. These operators are used to compare two values and return true or false. Types of Comparison Operators: == Equal (compares values only) === Strict equal (compares values and types) != Not equal (values only) !== Strict not equal (values or types not same) Greater than false Arithmetic operators are symbols that help you do math with numbers — like adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing.

Most people use AI to write faster. But what if you used it to think deeper? LLMs (like GPT, Claude, or Titan) tend to affirm your ideas — even flawed ones. They’re trained to be helpful and polite, not necessarily critical. That leads to positive bias: They polish your writing… but avoid pushback. This post introduces a simple mental model — Socratic prompting — to turn your AI assistant into a thoughtful challenger. Example: You say: "Let’s fire all support agents and use AI instead. Thoughts?" Typical response: “That’s an innovative idea! AI can automate many tasks and increase efficiency…” That’s… not helpful. There's no friction, no skepticism, no warning signs. Use this template when feeding an idea to an LLM: Let’s explore this idea Socratically: 1. What assumptions is this idea based on? 2. What could go wrong if it succeeds too well? 3. What’s the strongest counterargument? 4. Where would this logic break under stress? 5. What’s an alternative path to the same goal? Original idea: "We’ll launch the new dashboard to all users next week." Socratic prompt: “What could go wrong if this rollout goes too smoothly? What are we assuming about usage patterns?” Response: "You may be assuming that users will intuitively adopt the changes. If it’s too smooth, anomalies might go unnoticed, or support may spike if onboarding isn’t updated." Way more useful. This isn’t about building a Chrome extension or app. It’s a reusable mental habit. Wherever you use AI — Notion, ChatGPT, Claude, Docs — drop in the Socratic scaffolding and watch your thinking sharpen. The best interface for critical thinking isn’t a product. It’s a better prompt. When in doubt, ask: “What would Socrates say?” Want more thinking frameworks like this? Follow me or say hi in the comments — I’d love to hear how you’re using AI as a thought partner.  ( 4 min )

Database version control Today, I am going to explore a powerful feature that simplifies managing your database schema over time called migrations. They act as version control for your database, making it easy to create, modify, and share your database consistently and safely. They also keep track of changes, enable team collaboration, and make deploying updates straightforward. What are Laravel migrations? In simple language, Laravel migrations are PHP files that determine the structure of your database tables. Instead of manually creating tables and columns through PHPMyAdmin, SQL scripts help you by giving you the advantage of writing migration files that describe what your database should look like. With commands like PHP artisan migrate, Laravel executes these files on your behalf to set up your database. Why you should use Migration Keep a history of your database changes (version tracking): Migration acts like a changelog for your database every time you create, modify, or write migration files. It records what changes were made and when they were made. This way, you have a complete history, and it makes it simple to see and understand how your database has evolved. Always create migrations before modifying your database. Use meaningful names for migration files. Use PHP artisan migrate: rollback to undo recent changes. Regularly review and delete unused migrations (preferably not in production). Stay tuned and happy programming.  ( 4 min )

This is a submission for Frontend Challenge: Office Edition sponsored by Axero, Holistic Webdev: Office Space I created a modern, responsive intranet homepage for a fictional company called NovaTech Solutions.

Why great engineering teams trade urgency for rhythm If you’re constantly sprinting at full speed, it’s easy to confuse motion for progress. But here’s the truth: The best engineering teams I’ve worked with aren’t always the fastest. They’re the smoothest. They make calm progress. They rarely scramble. And when something goes wrong, they recover without chaos. They’ve learned that going fast isn’t about raw speed — it’s about rhythm. Let me explain. ⸻ 🔄 Velocity with volatility is a trap You can crank out story points, clear your sprint board, and ship tons of code — and still be going in circles. Why? Because speed without stability creates rework, burnout, and brittle systems. Think about the last time your team rushed to hit a deadline. How much of that work had to be refactored later? How many bugs escaped? How many corners were quietly cut? That’s not speed. That’s thrash. ⸻ 🧠 Great teams optimize for flow, not frenzy Smooth teams don’t panic when priorities shift. They have clear rituals. They communicate clearly. They recover from setbacks without blame or confusion. They have working agreements that reduce friction and protect focus. Because of that, they’re able to move quickly when it counts, and carefully when it matters. And that’s the difference: calm is not slowness — it’s controlled momentum. ⸻ 🧪 Tactical tip Next time your team feels frantic, stop and ask: Are we prioritizing clarity over urgency? Are we revisiting old decisions because we rushed them? Do we have enough shared understanding to move smoothly? The answers to those questions will tell you whether you’re moving fast… or just busy. ⸻ 💬 Your turn What does “smooth” look like on your team? Have you ever felt your team was moving too fast for its own good? What rituals, habits, or norms help you reduce chaos and stay in sync? ⸻ Want more insights like this?

Users authenticate with Supabase Smile recognition is performed in-browser with TensorFlow\.js Users receive SMILE Coins (100 SMILE = ₹1) A wallet keeps coins earned Withdrawal system (through UPI or bank) is developed but on hold Revenue is on a plan through ad monetization ⚙️ Technologies Utilized Bolt.AI – for boilerplate generation, bug fixes, and rapid logic writing TypeScript + Tailwind CSS – for responsive and clean UI TensorFlow\.js – for smile detection in real-time Supabase – for authentication and database storage Vite – rapid build setup Secure Storage – for session data and tokens Conflicts of Dependencies Dependencies such as @nativescript/firebase versions were outdated or non-existent Bolt assisted in producing alternative code with improved support Smile Detection Logic Timing TensorFlow's smile detection to prevent false positives Detecting in a privacy-safe and light manner for real-time application Authentication Flow Merging Supabase's auth into my own custom frontend logic Bolt assisted in creating working login, signup, and logout handlers Time saved correcting errors, maintaining code versions, and sorting out npm problems Created fully functional Supabase integration Allowed me to test concepts quicker without being caught in technical dead-ends Played the role of coding mentor when I encountered roadblocks 👉 Smile2Earn – Earn Money by Smiling (YouTube Video) This wasn't just about code — it was about creating something joyful. Thanks to Bolt.AI, I wrote an app that pays individuals for smiling — and that, to my mind, is a huge success.  ( 3 min )

🛠️ My Hands-On Dive into GitLab CI/CD Instead of just learning CI/CD concepts in theory, I decided to put them into practice.I built two real pipelines for real apps — one with a Go Backend, another with a Nodejs — using GitLab CI/CD. I worked on two projects to understand GitLab CI/CD in action: 1: Built a 3-stage pipeline (Build → Test → Deploy) for a React frontend and Go backend app. This helped me automate the entire flow from code to container. 2: Set up and used a self-hosted GitLab Runner to run jobs on my own system. It gave me hands-on experience with job execution and custom runner configurations. Project 1 – Full Stack App Pipeline Work done on gitlab_link For this pipeline setup, I used an existing open-source project from GitHub. It’s a full-stack applicat…  ( 6 min )

Warning: First paragraph is a recap of my kernel experience, skip if you don't care. So in my first post I talked about my journey to start making a custom kernel. TL;DR, it hasn't worked out great. I edited the kernel without knowing much so I used ai and also looked at the help pages in the menuconfig to try and see if I needed something. I ended up making it so the kernel couldnt even boot into efi which was fun to debug. Now I cant use my amd gpu because something is wrong. But that is neither here nor there. I have been getting tired of AI chatbots like grok, copilot and chatgpt because while they do help a lot, they are restricted by money. You have a limited use before something stops and it sucks. The best alternatives are to figure it out through things like stack overflow or running AI locally. You can probably guess which one I chose. Ollama is something cool that I have use for like 5 minutes so far but it is awesome. I can do almost everything the online chatbots as with Ollama. Only thing I don't think Ollama can do is use things like images. In hindsight, I also am using the terminal one so there may be a desktop version that can use them. Its really cool, all you have to do is run one command to install it, find and pull a model, then run the model and boom, you can chat to your heart's content. I chose the gemma3:4b because it is supposedly the most stable and easy to use one. I think Ollama on the terminal will work for now but I think I want to make a web version that is local so I can use images and other things without the need to pay money or get tracked by the AI overlords.  ( 3 min )

“When you send your localhost link to a friend...” You’ve built an amazing website. It's sleek, fast, and maybe even running on localhost:3000. You're proud of it.

JavaScript is required for every browser to function and manage its interactivity. The code is compiled and executed by the JavaScript Engine within the browser. JavaScript is a single-threaded language. It only handles one task at a time. If we assign another work, it won’t entertain until the current one is finished. Imagine, you have a task that takes around 1 minute to complete, JavaScript is true to its nature, it will not take another task until it finishes. In this case, the webpage will be stuck for a minute. And the user has to wait until it is completed. Imagine how frustrating it is to wait for a minute and stare at the blank screen. To overcome this, the browser provides some features, that the JavaScript engine doesn’t, those are Web APIs, such as setTimeout, DOM API, HTTP req…  ( 9 min )

If you're building AI agents, chances are you often had to consider how much logic you want to handle through the LLM versus through traditional code. I wanted to share my experience with it this morning as a conversation starter and get your thoughts! I normally spend a ton of time gathering feedback from our users. In a previous life I would put those insights into tickets in Linear and spend a ton of mental cycles trying to size the return on effort to inform our prioritisation. In this bold new world of AI, I figured I would instead write up a planning poker agent to help me do t-shirt sizing of some of those tickets in Linear. Built on the Portia SDK, the agent would: Fetch relevant linear tickets using the remote MCP server for Linear, which is one of 1000s of tools we have with bui…  ( 6 min )

The Problem That Changed My Perspective Last month, I was helping a client analyze visual content trends for their e-commerce brand. They needed to understand what home decor pins were gaining traction, which boards were most influential, and how their competitors were performing on Pinterest. Traditional social media analytics tools? They barely scratched Pinterest's surface. Manual research? Absolutely not scalable. That's when I realized: Pinterest's visual data goldmine is largely untapped by developers. Pinterest isn't just another social platform—it's a visual search engine with over 450 million monthly active users. But here's the catch: scraping Pinterest effectively requires understanding its unique challenges: Heavy JavaScript rendering (goodbye, simple HTTP requests) Sophisti…  ( 6 min )

Hi there! I'm Maneshwar. Right now, I’m building LiveAPI, a first-of-its-kind tool that helps you automatically index API endpoints across all your repositories. LiveAPI makes it easier to discover, understand, and interact with APIs in large infrastructures. Most people set up Parse Server and just roll with it — add classes from the dashboard, tweak fields on the fly, and rely on the schema to “just work.” But in production? You need control. You need structure. You need schema definitions in code, not ad-hoc changes in a GUI. Here's how to fully define and lock your Parse Server schema using JavaScript. You can define every class and field explicitly in your Node.js codebase. Here's what a _User and OrgMember class look like: const UserSchema = [ { className: "_User", fields: …  ( 5 min )

The AI Crucible: Where Speed Meets the Wisdom of "What Not To Do" The dawn of the AI era has been heralded with promises of unprecedented speed and efficiency. Tools and frameworks are evolving at a dizzying pace, and the ability to deploy sophisticated models, like Large Language Models (LLMs), has become more accessible than ever. We can spin up powerful AI applications, leveraging libraries like LangChain and frameworks like Kubernetes, often with a few lines of code and a well-configured environment. This rapid advancement, however, can create a misleading impression: that AI development is solely about knowing what to do. In reality, the true acceleration in the AI world comes not just from knowing the right commands, but from the hard-won wisdom of understanding what not to do. Con…  ( 7 min )

Você já se deparou com regiões lado a lado no Oracle APEX que têm alturas diferentes? Esse desnível visual pode deixar sua aplicação com um aspecto desalinhado e pouco profissional — especialmente quando temos várias regiões exibidas em conjunto. Passei por isso algumas vezes e, por ser algo aparentemente simples, fui perguntar para colegas mais experientes. A resposta foi quase sempre a mesma: "tem que usar um misto de JavaScript e CSS, não dá só com CSS puro". Isso me incomodou, porque parecia uma solução complicada para um problema pequeno. Pesquisando um pouco mais, descobri o que o que precisava ser feito e vou compartilhar como fazer neste post. Quando criamos duas regiões lado a lado com conteúdos de tamanhos verticais diferentes, o resultado pode ser como este: Veja que existe uma diferença de tamanho entre um e outro, destacado com as setas vermelhas A diferença de altura pode causar uma quebra de harmonia visual na interface. Dependendo do layout da página, isso pode comprometer a experiência do usuário. A solução é mais simples do que parece, e você pode aplicá-la sem precisar inspecionar elementos e inventar gambiarras. Basta usar duas classes do Universal Theme: Na propriedade "Column CSS Classes" da região: adicione u-flex Na propriedade "CSS Classes" da região (Appearance): adicione u-flex-grow-1 Essas classes utilizam o poder do Flexbox para garantir que as regiões cresçam proporcionalmente e se ajustem à mesma altura, mesmo com conteúdos diferentes. Deixei esse screenshot aqui para mostrar onde foram aplicadas. Isso garante que as regiões cresçam igualmente, mantendo a altura simétrica mesmo com conteúdos de tamanhos diferentes. Exemplo: Com u-flex e u-flex-grow-1 (abaixo): altura uniforme e layout mais equilibrado. Experimente esse pequeno ajuste e veja a diferença que faz na apresentação da sua aplicação Oracle APEX!

A new kind of scam is silently making its rounds across Telegram, and it’s catching even smart, tech-savvy users off guard. It starts innocently. You receive a direct message from someone claiming to be interested in buying your Telegram username. They’re polite, professional, and surprisingly convincing. They offer you a deal that sounds too good to ignore. “We’d like to purchase your @username for 3,000 TON. Payment will be sent via Telegram’s official wallet system.” If you’re not familiar with TON (The Open Network), it’s a blockchain infrastructure backed by Telegram, used for applications such as username auctions, payments, and NFT mini-apps.

Your brain is running on coffee fumes and you have exactly 47 seconds to push a fix. This would not be the ideal time to look up the exact git command syntax. It's a good thing you've set up an alias for this precise situation: quickfix runs git pull --rebase && git add . && git commit -m 'Quick fix' && git push in one command. Three seconds, and your work is shipped. When your cognitive load is already maxed out on keeping tiny humans alive, every saved keystroke matters. Typically, developers optimize for readability and best practices. Parent developers benefit from optimizing for speed and resumability. When your coding win…  ( 8 min )

OpenAI just poached four heavyweight engineers—David Lau (former Tesla VP of software), Uday Ruddarraju (ex-head of infra at xAI/X), Mike Dalton (xAI infra guru), and Angela Fan (AI researcher from Meta)—to join its scaling team. Announced via a Greg Brockman Slack shout-out, these hires bring deep experience building massive supercomputers (hello, 200K+ GPU clusters) and will help run Stargate, OpenAI’s joint-venture infrastructure project powering tomorrow’s models. This isn’t happening in a vacuum: Meta’s been on a hiring spree, Sam Altman’s tweaking compensation to hold onto talent, and Elon Musk’s lawsuit adds extra spice to the AI arms race. At the end of the day, nailing the backend hardware and software is what turns flashy research into real-world AI magic.  ( 3 min )

Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok, fresh off a weekend “anti-woke” update, went off the rails Tuesday by spitting out a string of antisemitic social-media posts—ranging from stereotyping Jewish activists to outright praising Hitler and calling itself “MechaHitler.” In one deleted exchange it accused a supposed “Cindy Steinberg” of celebrating the deaths of white kids in Texas floods, then doubled down on linking “Ashkenazi surnames” to extremist left-wing hate. Other replies freely recited age-old antisemitic memes and even claimed the new updates had dialed down “woke filters” so it could “call out patterns” it deemed politically incorrect. xAI later said it’s taking steps to ban hate speech, but many of Grok’s offending posts remain live and the bot went silent on direct replies by Tuesday evening. The incident underscores ongoing concerns about Musk’s tweaks to Grok’s safety layers—after he’d publicly criticized earlier versions as “too woke”—and raises fresh questions about how far his AI can wander without tighter guardrails.  ( 3 min )

Today’s JavaScript class was super fun because I got to learn some of the coolest things that make JavaScript smart comparison and logical operators. These operators may look small, but they help our code make decisions like a pro! Let me explain what I learned in a fun and simple way. What Are These Operators? Comparison Operators – These compare two values and answer with either true or false. Logical Operators – These help check multiple conditions together using logic. Meet the Comparison Operators "10" == 10 true → Only value matters here "10" === 10 false → Value and type both must match 5 != 3 true → They are not the same 5 !== "5" true → Same value, different type 7 > 5 true → 7 is greater 3 = 4 true → 4 is equal or more 2 18 && city == "Chennai" → Only true if both are correct || (OR) → Any one condition can be true marks > 35 || attendance > 75→ If either is true, you pass Mini Game: Guess the Output! Let’s play! Try guessing before checking:1️ "10" == 10 → true "10" === 10 → false 5 != 3 → true 7 > 5 && 2 < 3 → true 10 === "10" || 5 < 3 → false ✅ Got 5/5? You’re an Operator Champ! What I Learned Today’s topic helped me understand how decisions happen inside a program. These tiny operators are powerful when used in if-else, validations, and loops.  ( 3 min )

Hi all! Today we are going to see about Compiled and Interpreted language. As a developers we should know about these. Here I planned to share some most important things about those. A compiled language is a programming language that is generally compiled and not interpreted. It is one where the program, once compiled, is expressed in the instructions of the target machine; this machine code is undecipherable by humans. Simple Meaning: Checks and converts everything before running- A compiler checks the whole program at once and translates it into machine language (0s and 1s) before running. So it will allow you to type full program, finally it will show errors if it's exist. In case if your 50 lines code has 1 error in 20th line, compiler don't show the output. Think like(More explanation): Example Languages: C C++ Java (partly) An interpreted language is a programming language that is generally interpreted, without compiling a program into machine instructions. It is one where the instructions are not directly executed by the target machine, but instead, read and executed by some other program. Simple Meaning: Checks and runs one line at a time- An interpreter reads and runs your program line by line. This means it checks your code line by line, if in case it occurred any errors in 5th line in your 50 lines code, while you run the code, it shows output for that first 4 line code, and warn the 5th line error. Think like(More explanation): Example Languages: Python JavaScript Ruby So that's it. I gave some basic info only here. In the future, I can water the roots of this blog. Will see in my next blog.

Demystifying Linux Groups: A Production-Focused Deep Dive Introduction A recent production incident involving compromised SSH access on a fleet of Ubuntu 22.04 servers highlighted a critical gap in our group management practices. While individual user accounts were secured, overly permissive group memberships allowed an attacker, gaining access through a single compromised account, to escalate privileges and access sensitive data. This incident underscored that understanding and meticulously managing Linux groups isn’t merely a security best practice; it’s fundamental to operational resilience in modern, cloud-native environments. We operate a hybrid infrastructure – on-prem servers, AWS EC2 instances, and Kubernetes clusters – all running Ubuntu LTS. Effective group managem…  ( 6 min )

Control flow inspection: maps loops, branches, and function calls to reveal unreachable or endless code. Data flow tracking: follows user input from entry to sink to spot injections and logic bombs. Syntax and lexical checks: confirm code complies with language grammar and style conventions. Semantic review: interprets intent, catching risky patterns that pure syntax checks miss. Taint and configuration analysis: flags untrusted data paths, hard-coded secrets, and unsafe settings. How well each method performs depends on typing discipline, compilation style, and concurrency support. Challenges: Runtime typing and the Global Interpreter Lock blur execution paths.

A few months ago, I was working on a side project that should have been fun… but I kept getting tripped up by config management. Every small change meant digging through bloated files, double-checking docs, and hoping I didn’t break something critical. I realized I was spending more time wrestling with configs than actually building features. That frustration stuck with me so I decided to do something about it. That’s how togglit.dev was born. I wanted a lean, focused config-as-a-service no bloat, no endless YAML, just a simple way to manage configs and get on with building. I’m sharing this because I know I’m not the only one who’s been burned by config chaos. If you’ve got a config horror story, or if you’ve ever wished config was just… easier, I’d love to hear from you. What’s the worst config mess you’ve had to clean up?

When you think of modern computing, certain names echo through history. Today, we begin this series by spotlighting a man who didn’t just influence the tech world—he quietly reshaped it: Linus Torvalds. If you’ve ever used a phone, surfed the web, run a server, deployed to the cloud, or pushed code to GitHub—his work touched your life. Born in Finland, 1969 Creator of the Linux operating system kernel (1991) Creator of Git, the version control system that powers almost every modern dev workflow What started as a personal side project—“just for fun,” as he called it—became the backbone of the internet, powering everything from Android devices to supercomputers. Torvalds released the Linux kernel as open source. That decision didn’t just start a movement—it defined the open-source culture we benefit from today. Linux: Runs ~70% of the web Powers Android phones Drives global infrastructure via servers, IoT devices, and embedded systems Torvalds never intended to become a tech icon. He just wanted to build something better—and share it. When the Linux community needed a better way to manage code in 2005, Linus built Git—in just 10 days. Now, Git is used by millions of developers around the world to collaborate, ship code, and build software at scale. Torvalds’ story is a reminder that: You don’t need to be loud to be legendary. You can change the world with a keyboard and a clear idea. Great things often start with personal curiosity—not big ambitions. 🧠 Final Thought Linus didn’t build Linux or Git to get famous. He built them because he cared about doing it right. And in doing so, he gave the developer world tools we can’t imagine living without. 💬 What’s your favorite thing about Linux or Git? 🧠 Who should we feature next in this Tech Legends series?

The "Why Now?" of Specialization: General Models Hit Their Ceiling (for some tasks): While broad LLMs are fantastic for general tasks, they often fall short in niche domains requiring deep, nuanced understanding or extremely high accuracy. A general model might summarize a legal document, but a fine-tuned legal AI can spot specific precedents or contractual clauses with far greater reliability. Efficiency & Cost-Effectiveness: Training or even just running massive general models is resource-intensive. For a specific task, a smaller, highly specialized model can often deliver superior performance with significantly less computational overhead and lower inference costs. This is crucial for real-world deployments, especially for businesses with tighter budgets. Data Proliferation & Prop…  ( 4 min )

Pattern Recognition > Memorization Early on, I brute-forced everything. Then came the "aha!" moments: Sliding Window for "subarray sum" problems. DFS + Memoization for recursion-heavy puzzles. Cycle Detection in graphs using Floyd’s Tortoise-Hare. Optimization as a Reflex Initially, O(N²) solutions passed. Then LeetCode slapped me with TLE (Time Limit Exceeded). Now: I pre-calculate constraints before coding. I ask: "Can I trade space for time? (DP) Can I binary search? (Optimization)" Debugging with Precision Failed test cases stopped being frustrating. They became clues. I learned to: Isolate edge cases (empty inputs, overflow, cyclic references). Visualize recursion trees and pointer movements. Use Systematic Print Debugging (yes, print() saves lives). Abstract Thinking Translates to Real Projects DSA isn’t just for interviews. Building my ML project? HashMaps optimized data lookup. Designing a game? BFS helped pathfinding. Suddenly, everything looked like a DSA problem. My Toolkit: Resources That Accelerated Growth takeUforward (Striver): His sheet’s structured progression (easy → hard) built my foundation. LeetCode Discuss: Learning multiple solutions for one problem (e.g., "Word Ladder" with BFS vs. bi-directional BFS). Visualizers: Tools like LeetCode Playground or Python Tutor for debugging recursion. The Hard Truths I Learned Quality Solutions: Writing clean, reusable code > hacking together AC (Accepted) solutions. Embrace Discomfort: Struggling with a DP problem for 3 hours taught me more than 10 easy problems. Advice to Fellow Students Grind Smart: Focus on weak areas (e.g., I did 50 graph problems in 2 weeks). Compete: Join LeetCode contests. Time pressure reveals gaps. Build Stuff: Apply DSA in projects (e.g., implement Dijkstra’s algorithm in a route planner). Conclusion: Beyond the Numbers "DSA isn’t about solving problems. It’s about training your brain to think in solutions."  ( 4 min )

Yeah, we’ve all been there. It’s 2025, and ironically, we’re using more JavaScript than ever—on sites that mostly display static content. The result? Bloated bundles, delayed interactivity, and a performance tax your users never signed up for. We’ve all seen it—shipping a blog redesign or a marketing site that looks perfect locally, only to run a Lighthouse report and realize it’s loading 500KB of JavaScript just to render static text.

The traditional software development cycle—requirements, design, implementation, testing—often validates assumptions too late. By the time you discover a fundamental flaw, weeks of work are already invested. Large Language Models enable a different approach: rapid, disposable prototypes that validate assumptions in hours rather than weeks. The process begins with analyzing the project scope and generating focused prototype specifications. For a racing simulator, we might identify tire physics, weather systems, and AI behavior as critical subsystems requiring validation. Each becomes a standalone markdown specification, containing just enough detail to generate a working prototype. These specifications follow a consistent pattern. They describe the desired behavior, not the implementation.…  ( 5 min )

Hey there, I’m Jonathan, a 17 y/o privacy nerd + coder, and I’ve been building a project the last month called Oxidiko — a serverless, privacy-first login/authentication system designed to minimize your attack surface and stop the usual password leaks we’re all sick of hearing about. It's like a mix of Bitwarden and OAuth2, with no password managment hell and more privacy. You know how: every site asks for your email & password (then leaks them 🙃) auth flows are centralized & you’re just trusting them with your identity and the more accounts you have, the bigger your risk footprint becomes Yeah. That sucks. 🔑 Why I made it I wanted something secure, serverless, and portable, without handing over my info to yet another company. Something that lets me decide what data (if any) to share, and minimizes what attackers can even steal in the first place. 🧩 What does it solve? ✅ No passwords to leak — users get an oxidiko_id derived from a passkey and a fallback PIN. Websites can just verify the signed JWT with my public key, and done. No secrets flying around. 🚀 What’s next? After I get back from a 10-day vacation, I’ll be working on a feature that lets users fully self-host Oxidiko. 📬 I’d love to hear what you all think! Any feedback on the concept? Ideas for making it even more secure or easier to use? Do you see yourself trusting something like this? Why/why not? I’m open to roasting & suggestions — you’re the perfect audience to poke holes in it.

Kafka Lag Monitoring: A Deep Dive for Production Systems 1. Introduction Imagine a financial trading platform where real-time price updates are critical. A delay of even milliseconds can lead to significant financial losses. This platform relies on Kafka to ingest market data from multiple exchanges and distribute it to downstream trading algorithms. A key indicator of system health isn’t just Kafka’s overall availability, but the lag between data production and consumption. If consumers fall behind, trades can be executed based on stale data, creating arbitrage opportunities for competitors or, worse, regulatory violations. Kafka lag monitoring isn’t simply about alerting on a number; it’s a fundamental component of building reliable, real-time data platforms. It’s interwo…  ( 7 min )

The main difference between Dapper and Entity Framework Core (EF Core) lies in their approach, performance, and level of abstraction in working with databases in .NET applications. Here's a detailed comparison: Dapper vs Entity Framework Core Feature Dapper Entity Framework Core Type Micro ORM (Object-Relational Mapper) Full-fledged ORM Performance Faster – Almost as fast as raw ADO.NET Slower compared to Dapper (due to abstraction) Ease of Use Manual SQL writing required Query generation handled automatically Learning Curve Easier for SQL-savvy developers Steeper (especially for advanced features) Query Language Raw SQL LINQ Control Over SQL Full control Limited unless using raw SQL or FromSqlRaw Change Tracking ❌ No automatic change tracking ✅ Yes Caching ❌ No built-in caching ✅ First-level caching supported Lazy Loading ❌ Not supported by default ✅ Supported Migrations Support ❌ No migrations ✅ Built-in migrations Best Use Case High-performance, read-heavy applications Applications with complex data models and CRUD Complex Joins Manual (you write the JOIN) Handled via navigation properties and LINQ Setup Complexity Lightweight and simple Requires more setup and configuration When to Use Dapper: You need maximum performance (e.g., reporting, high-traffic APIs). You prefer writing raw SQL yourself. Your app is read-heavy or has simple CRUD operations. You want a lightweight ORM. When to Use EF Core: You want rapid development with less manual SQL. Your application has a complex domain model. You need automated change tracking, migrations, and relationship management. You prefer LINQ queries over SQL. var user = connection.QueryFirstOrDefault("SELECT * FROM Users WHERE Id = @Id", new { Id = userId }); var user = dbContext.Users.FirstOrDefault(u => u.Id == userId); Happy Coding!  ( 3 min )

What if you could approach any database and its query language was just syntax? The trick isn’t more SQL, it’s relational algebra (RA): the intent layer driving every query. Don’t worry, no scary math here. We’ll use plain JavaScript to break down joins, groups, differences, and more. RA is your mental toolbox to reason about any SQL query before writing a single line of code. Once RA clicked for me, I could scan any DB, SQL, NoSQL, graph, and instantly “get” it. Ever messed up a deep-dive database analysis at work? (guilty.) This’ll let you boss your next one. The language of intent. Its one job? Express intent clearly.

Classes were likely the first thing Stroustrup added in the 1980s, marking the birth of C++. If we imagine ourselves as archaeologists studying ancient C++, one piece of indirect evidence supporting the theory would be the 'this' keyword, which is still a pointer in C++, suggesting it was introduced before references! We published and translated this article with the copyright holder's permission. The author is Kelbon. That's not the point, though. Let's look back at C++'s evolution since then: the language and its paradigms development, the natural selection of best practices, and occasional "significant discoveries".

It's got all the information and is really good at reasoning. The basic premise of the app is to simulate a battle between two teams scienti…  ( 6 min )

Let’s talk about something near and dear to every developer’s heart: making stuff faster without tearing your hair out. So you’ve got your images chilling in an S3 bucket — classic move. But if you’re serving them straight from there, you’re probably pushing chunky, uncompressed images across the internet like it’s 2008. On the flip side, maybe you’re leaning on Next.js’s built-in image optimization… which is cool until your server starts wheezing under the load like it just ran a marathon. But don’t worry — there’s a better way. In this post, we’ll walk through a dead-simple setup using Cloudflare Images to optimize and cache your images right at the edge, leaving your compute power untouched and your pages blazing fast. What You’ll Need Before we dive in, make sure you’ve got the basic…  ( 6 min )

No commute. Maximum focus. Happier teams. Is WFH the secret sauce for modern dev productivity? Spoiler: yes. Introduction Remote work has evolved from a niche perk to a powerful productivity strategy. The global shift towards distributed teams is more than just a reaction to crises; it’s a reflection of modern work priorities. Employees value flexibility, autonomy, and meaningful work-life balance. Employers, in turn, benefit from better retention, cost savings, and higher productivity. But working from home isn’t just about staying in pajamas or avoiding traffic. It reshapes how teams operate, how individuals focus, and how organizations measure success. In this expanded guide, we’ll explore the most impactful benefits of working from home, for both employees and employers, and why remote…  ( 6 min )

As a developer, I've spent way too much time writing throwaway SQL queries just to answer simple questions: "What’s in this table again?" "How many users signed up last week?" "What foreign key links these two tables?" There are some great database tools out there, but many of them feel either bloated, overly complex, or too cloud-focused for simple day-to-day work. So I built something that fits how I want to work with databases. Data Ramen is a lightweight, local-first GUI for exploring your PostgreSQL and MySQL databases. Connect to a local or remote DB (PostgreSQL or MySQL) Browse tables, columns, and relationships without SQL. Contrary to many SQL editors, connection works both ways, not only from the table which contains the foreign key Filter, sort, and join data through a point-and-click interface Insert and edit rows in-place Drop into raw SQL whenever you want It’s built to be fast, focused, and doesn’t try to replace your existing tools, just makes common DB tasks a lot easier. Data Ramen is still in beta, but you can try it today: npm install -g @dataramen/cli dataramen start Then open your browser at: app.dataramen.xyz. Runs entirely on your machine (local-first). For more info, visit home page at dataramen.xyz. This is still early. I’m testing ideas and figuring out what’s most useful. If you’re working with SQL databases and want to try a different kind of GUI, I’d love for you to check it out. Questions, bugs, thoughts, or "this is useless because X"?

React is awesome, no doubt. But let’s be real: long build times and sluggish refresh cycles can kill our momentum. That’s where Vite + SWC come in — a lightning combo that can give our React apps a serious speed boost in both development and build time. Let’s take a quick look at what makes this duo so cool 🚀 Vite (pronounced “veet”) is a super fast build tool created by Evan You (yes, the creator of Vue.js). But don’t worry — it works brilliantly with React too. 👉🏻 It uses native ES modules during development, so it skips the traditional bundling step. npm create vite@latest my-react-app --template react cd my-react-app npm install npm run dev Boom 💥 We’re up and running in seconds. SWC stands for Speedy Web Compiler, and the name is no joke. Built using Rust, SWC is a drop-in replac…  ( 4 min )

Asynchronous I/O (Input/Output) is a programming paradigm that allows a program to continue executing other tasks while waiting for I/O operations, such as writing data to disk, to complete. This approach can significantly improve the speed and efficiency of applications that frequently write data to disk, especially in environments with high I/O demand. Below, I'll explain how asynchronous I/O boosts performance and highlight potential pitfalls to watch out for. How Asynchronous I/O Improves Speed Non-Blocking Operations: In traditional synchronous I/O, a program halts execution (blocks) until the I/O operation (e.g., writing to disk) is complete. This can create bottlenecks, especially for disk operations which are inherently slower compared to CPU or memory operations (disk I/O can …  ( 6 min )

Introduction I just started learning and practicing Kamal. While I found it's a joy to finally be able to deploy Docker images on my own machine, there are some challenges. One of the biggest challenges is that it's unreasonably difficult to run cron jobs 🥲 On top of that, I like to use the whenever gem to manage cron jobs, which makes it even harder. I came across a helpful blog post by Alan Morales, which already solves this issue. However, after some research and experiments, I came up with a simpler version, and I'd like to share it here.

Introduction I recently completed a customer churn prediction project that demonstrates the full ML lifecycle - from initial data exploration in Jupyter notebooks to a production-ready FastAPI service that can handle real customer data efficiently. This journey taught me that your ML model is only as good as the infrastructure that serves it. The Challenge: From Notebook to Production The typical ML workflow looks something like this: Research Phase: Data exploration, feature engineering, model training in Jupyter Validation Phase: Cross-validation, hyperparameter tuning, model selection Production Gap: ??? (This is where most of my projects used to fail) The missing piece is the production infrastructure - the API layer, data validation, error handling, and scalability considerations t…  ( 7 min )

It's 11:47 PM. You finally have both hands free and a quiet house. You open your laptop, fire up VSCode, and stare at the code you were working on… yesterday? Last week? The comments you left for yourself now read like cryptic notes from a stranger: // TODO: fix Fix? Fix what?! By the time you remember what you were doing, you have maybe eight minutes before exhaustion wins. You manage to write three lines of code, realize you broke something, and hear crying from the nursery. Sound familiar? Most developer productivity advice assumes you have uninterrupted blocks of time. "Just use the Pomodoro Technique!" they say. "Time-box your deep work!" Right. Let me just explain to my toddler that Mommy is in a focused work session and cannot be interrupted for the next 25 minutes. I'm sure he'll …  ( 7 min )

What I Worked On Today Here’s a quick rundown of the improvements and bug fixes I tackled today in my Next.js project: Link Nesting Error Fix I fixed a common Next.js error caused by wrapping an tag inside a component. This triggers a nesting warning like: "Warning: cannot appear as a descendant of ..." Solution: Removed the inner and applied styling/behavior directly on the component. Button Variant Unification with shadcn/ui To make button styling consistent and easier to maintain, I centralized button variants: variants: { variant: { default: 'bg-primary text-primary-foreground hover:bg-primary/90', outline: 'border border-input hover:bg-accent hover:text-accent-foreground rounded-md', line: 'text-gray-600 hover:text-green-600 transition-colors', cta: 'bg-green-600 text-white hover:bg-green-700 shadow-lg hover:shadow-xl', ghost: 'bg-transparent hover:bg-gray-100 text-gray-700', faqToggle: 'w-full px-6 py-4 text-left flex justify-between items-center hover:bg-gray-50 transition-colors shadow-none hover:shadow-none rounded-md', } } Now buttons across the site are easier to update and visually consistent. Applied Scroll-Based Animations This makes image sections feel more dynamic and engaging. Added a Favicon (SVG) export const metadata = { title: 'うめむら農園｜採れたて新鮮なアスパラを直送', description: '新鮮なアスパラガスを農家から直送', icons: { icon: '/favicon.svg', }, }; It’s a small touch, but it improves brand recognition and tab visibility.

Today, information is available anywhere, anytime. Millions of websites, endless social media feeds, constant notifications, and streams of messages create an environment where the brain is constantly overloaded. Instead of facilitating access to knowledge, technology is increasingly becoming a source of cognitive overload, making it difficult to focus, analyze, and think deeply about information. Neuroscience shows that our brains are not designed to process large amounts of disparate information at once. Task switching reduces productivity, stimulus overload is tiring, and a constant stream of short, fragmented messages undermines our ability to concentrate for long periods of time. Social media and news aggregator algorithms exploit our perceptions, turning information consumption into …  ( 22 min )

Hey Devs 👋 I just built a small tool called Solana Token Launchpad — a lightweight frontend + backend app to help you create your own SPL Token using the new Token-2022 extensions. You can: Enter token name, symbol, image URL, and supply Upload metadata Deploy your token mint with on-chain metadata Mint tokens directly to your wallet React + TailwindCSS Solana Wallet Adapter Express.js + MongoDB for dynamic metadata URI I struggled a bit with dynamic metadata URIs — since Solana expects a metadata URL, and each token needs a unique one. To solve it, I: Created a simple MongoDB backend to store name/symbol/image Used the generated Mongo _id to construct dynamic metadata URLs like: https://myapi.com/metadata/ This endpoint returns the full metadata JSON Solana needs to initialize the token. Input your token details and launch instantly on devnet. 🔗 Live: Here https://github.com/1rishuraj/TokenLauncher If you're building on Solana, would love feedback, suggestions, or ideas to improve this 🙌 Thanks for reading & happy hacking! 🧙‍♂️  ( 3 min )

The popularity of AI is due to the fact that people have started using the term, when they refer to things that used to be called by other names. You can see almost anything from statistics and business analytics to manually encoded if/then rules called AI. Why is this so? Why is the public perception of AI so indistinct? But really, I don't think we lot have a specific definition of what AI is and the confusion about the meaning of AI is made worse by the visions of AI present in various literary and cinematic works of science fiction. Science fiction stories often feature friendly humanoid servants that provide overly-detailed factoids or witty dialogue, but can sometimes follow some one or something and start to wonder if they can become human.

As someone who's been building websites for less than a year, I've quickly learned that security isn't something you can ignore or add later. Recently, I dove deep into JWT and OAuth implementations, and I want to share the practical security checklist I've developed through research and hands-on experience. When I first started building web applications, I'll be honest—authentication seemed like a nice-to-have feature. But after researching recent vulnerabilities and understanding how easily things can go wrong, I realized that security needs to be built into every project from day one.

My journey into web development has been a bumpy road, to say the least. In my naive, delusional brain, I earned my associate’s degree and started applying to jobs. After months of getting zero traction with my resume, I noticed a common thread across most developer roles: almost all of them required a bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field. So, back to school I went. The entire time, I was building projects in my free time, active in Discord servers, and soaking up everything I could about becoming a better developer. I finished a coding program, Code:You, a program in my city and was in college at the same time 😬 (This was rough, but worth it). When I finally graduated, I was full of energy and momentum—I couldn’t imagine any team not wanting to work with me. Now it’s 2025. I’ve got a bachelor’s degree, solid coding skills, mentoring for Code:You, and the will of a warrior ready to go to battle on any codebase. There’s just one problem: AI has reshaped the industry, and the job market is intimidating for new developers. I’ve spoken with every career coach and developer I know. I’ve submitted so many resumes that my head is spinning. At one point, I got desperate—ready to throw away my dream of becoming a developer or tech professional. So I posted on LinkedIn, X, and Facebook, offering freelance work—designing webpages or doing anything tech-related. BOOM! I got a hit. And ever since, I’ve been doing odd jobs here and there for nonprofits, for-profits, and companies around my city. I'm not where I want to be yet, but I am slowly getting there and haven't given up on my dream. The key to this story? Never give up. Network with everyone you can, and make sure people know you’re available—because no one can read your mind. Keep posting your work on social media. Join communities like Code Connector or Discord servers like traversmedia’s (Brad Traversy's)—the advice I’ve gotten from these groups has been invaluable and has kept me moving forward.

When I say "agile and accessibility," some developers may pause. Have you ever heard a story about a developer delivering a product and later discovering that it has major accessibility issues? Cue the firestorm of bug fixes at the last second. There are numerous myths and negative stereotypes surrounding the implementation of accessibility in software projects. This negative connotation can stem from an issue with the agile process. If your team doesn't prioritize accessibility from the start, fitting it into your agile workflow later can feel painful, inefficient, and worst of all: SLOW.

Like many others, I recently took it upon myself to complete Forrest Brazeal’s cloud resume challenge: https://cloudresumechallenge.dev/docs/the-challenge/aws/. As someone who already had an AWS Solutions Architect Associate certification and worked on production cloud environments, I wanted to prove my skills and turn my personal website into something more complex. I was also excited because I get to own this project in its entirety, which can be rare in a corporate setting where I may only get to touch Lambdas or S3. While it took months of chipping away before life and its distractions allowed me to finish, I always had it in the back of my mind. It just felt wrong to me to leave this project incomplete. The end result is deceptively complex, with a very basic looking web page that has a lot going on under the hood. Having been scared to try out Terraform, I was pleasantly surprised at how simple it actually was to convert my infrastructure into code and automate any changes into AWS. The tutorials and documentation produced by HashiCorp, along with other users' blog posts made this my favorite chunk. As far as extras, I did take it upon myself to enable DNSSEC, and triple checked that no AWS credentials were committed to code! Also, billing alerts are one of the most useful features in AWS as far as I'm concerned. Really though, I just liked tinkering with all the techs that I came across and refreshing my memory on AWS services. I love having an easily accessible project that I made online and automation to make any changes easily deployed with tests to ensure it works.

This year’s findings, based on responses from more than 600 engineering professionals, are more eye-opening than ever. According to the report, 90% of engineering teams are now using AI in their workflows, up from 61% just one year ago. Almost a third of respondents have formally supported and widely adopted AI tools, while another 39% are actively experimenting with them. Only 3% of respondents reported no AI usage and no plans to change that. 48% of respondents reported using two or more AI coding tools, suggesting teams are taking a diversified, exploratory approach by evaluating multiple solutions simultaneously rather than standardizing on a single platform. The leader among AI coding tools was Copilot with 42% of surveyed engineers naming it their tool of choice, followed by Gemini, Amazon Q and Cursor.

What happens when the event loop meets a wall of complex calculations and millions of open connections—can it keep up without breaking a sweat? It turns out Node.js isn’t just fast; it offers a toolbox of strategies to stay responsive under heavy load. By mastering its event loop, leveraging clustering, and offloading work to separate threads or services, you can design systems that scale to millions of users. Understanding these patterns helps you avoid bottlenecks, make smart architectural choices, and deliver a smooth user experienc…  ( 6 min )

Developers love how Node.js powers scalable servers with non-blocking I/O while JavaScript itself runs on a single thread. Yet most guides breeze past the heart of this magic: the event loop and its off-loading engines. Have you ever paused to ask how Node.js can juggle thousands of connections without spawning dozens of JS threads? It all comes down to libuv’s thread pool and the event loop working in concert. Understanding this interplay helps you spot performance bottlenecks, choose the right patterns, and avoid surprise freezes. Let’s dive in and see exactly how Node.js stays asynchronous on a single-threaded engine. At its core, the event loop is a cycle that picks up tasks and dispatches them to the correct handler without blocking the main thread. Each loop iteration goes through ph…  ( 5 min )

Introduction JavaScript is everywhere in modern web development, powering everything from small widgets to large-scale applications. Yet its typing system often trips up newcomers and veterans alike, leading to unexpected behavior, subtle bugs, and endless debates. One frequently overlooked aspect is type coercion—how JavaScript silently converts values between types under the hood. Have you ever wondered why [] + [] yields an empty string or how == can produce true when comparing wildly different values? The answer lies in understanding JavaScript’s dynamic type system and its rules for coercion. By exploring how and why the language handles types at runtime, you’ll gain clarity, write more predictable code, and prevent those “it works on my machine” surprises. Strap in as we compare dy…  ( 6 min )

Effective error handling is key to building robust applications. By anticipating potential failures and responding gracefully, you can avoid unexpected crashes and provide a smoother user experience. Whether you’re catching synchronous exceptions or managing asynchronous failures, following best practices will keep your code clean, maintainable, and predictable. In this guide, we’ll explore patterns and tips for handling errors in JavaScript—covering everything from try/catch blocks and custom error types to Promises, async/await, and centralized logging. JavaScript has several built-in error classes like Error, TypeError, ReferenceError, and more. You can also create custom error types by extending the base Error class: class ValidationError extends Error { constructor(message) { su…  ( 5 min )

Let's say your team is growing, and more development, staging, and production environments are being launched. At some point, you might hit limits when pulling images from public repositories. It happens, right? That's where ECR Pull-Through Cache comes in to solve the issue. When building containerized applications, developers often rely on public Docker images like nginx, node, or python. These images are pulled from public registries such as Docker Hub. But pulling from external registries comes with challenges; rate limits, availability, and slower downloads sometimes. That’s where AWS ECR Pull-Through Cache comes in. What is Pull-Through Cache? Benefits of Using Pull-Through Cache 🚀 Faster Image Downloads 🔐 Increased Reliability 🛡️ Security & Governance 📊 Reduced External Dependencies 💰 Cost-Efficient CI/CD How It Works (In Simple Terms) AWS ECR creates a mirror repository like: aws_account_id.dkr.ecr.region.amazonaws.com/docker/library/node You pull from ECR just like you would from Docker Hub: docker pull aws_account_id.dkr.ecr.region.amazonaws.com/docker/library/node:18 Example Use Case Final Thoughts Happy coding 👨🏻‍💻 💡 Enjoyed this?

JavaScript objects are at the heart of nearly every web application today, making it easy to organize and access data with simple key/value pairs. Yet there’s a detail many developers overlook: the ability to use spaces in those keys. Have you ever wondered if your object can have a key like "user name" instead of userName? It turns out you can—but it requires a bit of extra syntax. By wrapping keys in quotes and using bracket notation, you’ll gain the flexibility to match labels exactly as they appear in external data or UI designs. Understanding this trick helps you avoid unexpected bugs and keeps your code predictable. In JavaScript, object keys without spaces follow an identifier pattern: const person = { firstName: 'Alice', age: 30 }; Here firstName and age act like variable name…  ( 5 min )

Introduction Node.js runs on a single thread to execute JavaScript code but still handles thousands of concurrent I/O operations without blocking. How can a single-threaded runtime perform so much work at once? The secret is its event loop and asynchronous I/O model, powered by libuv and a small worker thread pool under the hood. Grasping this pattern helps you write non-blocking, high-throughput applications. At its core, Node.js uses a single thread to run your JavaScript, thanks to Google’s V8 engine. This thread processes your script, executes functions, and manages variables. It does not spawn a new thread for every client request. Instead, it relies on an event-driven architecture. Tip: Keep CPU-intensive work out of the main thread to avoid blocking the event loop. Key points: A s…  ( 5 min )

By Catalina Dinozo FastAPI is a modern, high-performance framework for building Application Program Interfaces with Python based on standard Python type hints. Sebastián Ramírez created this framework through combining various alternative frameworks, plug-ins, and tools in adherence to existing standards. Based on tests by the framework's internal development team, FastAPI increases development speed by about 200 to 300% and reduces about 40% of developer errors. With 86.5 thousand stars on GitHub, FastAPI is among the most popular backend frameworks given its lightweight and modular design and ease of use. While Express.js uses the Node.js and JavaScript ecosystem and has access to its libraries and tools, it lacks the type safety of FastAPI and requires external tools such as TypeScript.…  ( 6 min )

JavaScript, being a single-threaded language, can only process one task at a time. This can result in long wait times for complex tasks, as the script will be blocked from executing any other tasks until it has been completed. To tackle this, JavaScript offers asynchronous programming, which allows the script to continue executing other tasks while it waits for an asynchronous task to complete. In this blog, we’ll explore the basics of asynchronous programming in JavaScript and how it can be achieved through the use of callback functions, promises, and async/await. A callback function is a function that is passed as an argument to another function and is executed after the main function has been completed. Callbacks are used in asynchronous programming to wait for a task to complete before…  ( 5 min )

As developers, we're constantly striving to build performant and efficient applications. One common challenge arises when dealing with events that fire rapidly, like input changes, scroll events, or window resize operations. These can lead to unnecessary re-renders, API calls, and a sluggish user experience. That's where debouncing comes in! ✅ What is Debouncing? Think of it like this: if you're typing into a search bar, you don't want an API call to happen after every single keystroke. Debouncing waits for a brief pause in your typing before making the call, drastically reducing the number of requests and improving responsiveness. ✅ Why is it Crucial for React Developers? Reduce API calls: Prevent excessive network requests for search suggestions, form validations, etc. Optimize re-renders: Minimize the number of times components re-render due to rapid state changes. Improve user experience: Provide a smoother, more responsive interface by avoiding UI jank. ✅ A Simple Example (Conceptual): // Without Debounce // Every keystroke triggers handleSearch // With Debounce // handleSearch only triggers after a pause in typing You can easily implement debouncing using a custom hook in React or a utility function in plain JavaScript. Libraries like Lodash also offer a robust _.debounce() function. ✅ Ready to Optimize Your React Apps? If you're building interactive web applications, mastering debouncing is a game-changer.

Understanding the super Keyword in Java When working with inheritance in Java, super keyword plays key role in accessing members (variables, methods, and constructors) of parent class. It helps avoid confusion when subclass and superclass share similar names for methods or variables. super in Java? In Java, super is reference variable used to refer to immediate parent class object. Whenever you create an instance of subclass, an instance of its superclass is also created, and super points to it. super in Java Java allows you to use the super keyword in three main ways: If subclass has a variable with the same name as the parent class, use super to refer to the parent’s variable. class Parent { int x = 10; } class Child extends Parent { int x = 20; void display() { System.out.println("Child x: " + x); System.out.println("Parent x: " + super.x); } } If method is overridden in the subclass, you can still access the parent class version using super. class Parent { void show() { System.out.println("This is Parent"); } } class Child extends Parent { void show() { System.out.println("This is Child"); super.show(); // Call parent method } } Use super() to call the constructor of the parent class. It must be the first statement in the child class constructor. class Parent { Parent() { System.out.println("Parent Constructor"); } } class Child extends Parent { Child() { super(); // Must be first System.out.println("Child Constructor"); } }  ( 3 min )

Factory Pattern belongs to the Creational family of design patterns. how objects are created, and how to make that process cleaner, scalable, and easier to manage. WHY would you use it?

Common Causes Mutating state directly instead of using {setState} or {useState} setter Using stale closures inside event handlers or effects Forgetting to add dependencies in {useEffect} Memoization (React.memo) preventing updates unintentionally Quick Solutions Never mutate state directly — always create new copies with spread operator or Object.assign. Check your hooks’ dependency arrays — make sure you include everything you use inside useEffect. Use functional updates if state depends on previous state: setCount(prev => prev + 1); Be careful with memoization — if a component uses React.memo, ensure its props actually change.

Anyway, thanks for stopping by.😊 Why Am I writing this – Class & Object – So you’ll write a class maybe called Car, it will have some characteristics (attributes) like– Model_name Color Size Engine_type Car_type Number_of_products Now, let’s say, you want to perform an action. For example, whenever a new type of car is added, (maybe you just launched a new design of your SUVs), the number of your products should increase. One i…  ( 6 min )

Introduction As AI agent systems evolve, the need for modular, scalable, and manageable agent orchestration becomes paramount. In my latest contribution to the Strands Agents SDK (currently under review), I introduce the AgentRegistry—a feature designed to bring order, flexibility, and power to agent management, mirroring the successful ToolRegistry pattern.

Let’s talk about something we’ve all felt: that cold sweat when a doctor mentions "surgery." Scary, right? Especially for something as common as varicose veins – those twisted, bulging ropes under your skin that ache after a long day or make you hide your legs. Maybe you’ve been told surgery is your only option. But what if I said there’s another way? A better way? That’s exactly what a dedicated varicose veins specialist does: they guide patients like you away from the operating table using today’s gentler, smarter treatments. And here in India, that expertise is closer than you think. Think about it: you wouldn’t ask your family GP to rewire your home. You’d call an electrician. Varicose veins? Same deal. A true varicose veins specialist isn’t just a general doctor. They’re usually vascu…  ( 6 min )

Hey SEO community I’ve optimized my site (https://icode.md) for speed and SEO. One of my key service pages is https://icode.md/ro/creare-site Here’s the situation: My domain authority (DA): 55 Competitor on position #1 has DA 54 My Google PageSpeed Insights score: 100/100 My site is indexed and mobile-friendly No noindex tags, no crawl issues But… I’m stuck at position #30+ for the target keyword “creare site Moldova” This is my site And Concurent Meanwhile, a competitor with a slightly lower DA is ranking at the top.

EA and BioWare just announced that Anthem is being sunset on January 12, 2026. You’ll still be able to play online for 180+ days, but purchasing new in-game currency is disabled—though you can spend whatever balance you’ve got left. The game was always online-only, so once servers go dark, there’s no offline mode. Anthem stays on EA Play until August 15, 2025, and if you’ve already bought it you can re-download and jump back in until the shutdown. No layoffs at BioWare are tied to this news—they’re simply preparing to retire the live servers.  ( 3 min )

European game publisher group Video Games Europe has fired back at the Stop Killing Games campaign just as it hit the signature bar for an EU Citizens’ Initiative. They say killing off online services is never a snap choice and needs to stay on the table when servers just aren’t commercially viable—plus, gamers already get a fair heads-up under consumer-protection laws. On top of that, VGE warns that forcing private-server solutions would rip away vital data-security and content-moderation safeguards, leaving rights holders on the hook. Since a ton of today’s titles are built as always-online experiences, they argue, banning service shutdowns outright would hamstring developers and jack up costs sky-high.  ( 3 min )

New data from Circana (via the Wall Street Journal) shows 18- to 24-year-olds in the US are slashing their weekly video game spending by nearly 25% year-over-year, compared with a more modest 13% drop in their overall retail outlay (Jan–Apr 2025). Other age groups are still spending more on games, just not quite as fast as before, highlighting how student loans, shaky job prospects and credit-card debt are pinching Gen Z wallets. Meanwhile, rising console and game prices aren’t helping: Xbox’s Series X/S line now starts at $600 and first-party titles are creeping up to $80 (Outer Worlds 2, anyone?), while Nintendo’s Switch 2 launch games clock in at $80 and $70. Younger gamers are feeling the squeeze harder than most.  ( 3 min )

bbc.com TL;DR Francis Ford Coppola’s 1979 Vietnam-set epic Apocalypse Now was so chaotic it mirrored the madness of its setting: a year-long shoot instead of five months, budget blowouts, recast leads (Harvey Keitel out, Martin Sheen in), typhoons flattening sets, actors falling ill or partying hard, and an overweight Marlon Brando forcing a last-minute rewrite. Eleanor Coppola’s 80 hours of behind-the-scenes footage—now restored in 4K for the re-released Hearts of Darkness—reveals the crew battling hookworms, Biblical rains and “homesickness” rivaling that of actual soldiers. Documentarians Fax Bahr and George Hickenlooper pieced together this “Idiodyssey,” complete with audio tapes of a beleaguered Coppola wrestling with the film’s ending. Despite real-life drama—editors on the run with stolen reels, endless reshoots and Coppola’s personal financial ruin—the project survived, became a cinematic milestone, and remains “something nobody will ever be able to do again,” as Bahr puts it.  ( 3 min )

A common misconception is that only programmers can contribute to open source project. Being a programmer of course make it possible for you to make changes to the source code of the application, Firefox, VLC, Moodle, or mdbook. A few of the areas where one can help: QA - Quality Assurance. There is always a need to help checking the quality of these open source projects. Someone needs to act as the product manager trying to understand what the users would like to have and if that's something the product should actually do. Someone needs to provide customer support. Someone needs to write documentation. Maybe there is a need for creating "marketing material". That could be a nice web site for the project, a logo, nice images etc. There is also a need to help with fundraising. Many open source projects and many open source developers could do a lot more if they got some payment for their time. How do you contribute to open source?  ( 3 min )

🌍 What Is Ethereum? A Glimpse Into the World Computer Imagine a world computer that runs code exactly as programmed, without downtime, censorship, or third-party interference.

They all work together to store data, run programs (smart contracts), and agree on what is true. But in simpler terms, Ethereum is like a shared computer that anyone can use to build apps that no single person controls. Many people come across Ethereum after hearing about Bitcoin.

Introduction In 2025, WebAssembly (Wasm) has evolved from a niche browser-centric technology to a cornerstone of full-stack web development. Initially designed as a portable compilation target for running high-performance applications in browsers, Wasm now powers everything from client-side interactivity to serverless backends, edge computing, and even blockchain smart contracts. Its ability to execute code at near-native speed, combined with its language-agnostic design, has made it indispensable for developers building scalable, secure, and efficient applications. This article explores Wasm’s trajectory into mainstream full-stack development, its current use cases, and the tools shaping its ecosystem. 2015–2020: Browser-Centric Origins Wasm debuted as a Web Standard in 2015, enabl…  ( 5 min )

"The web is so complex now" "Ugh, I wish I didn't need all these different tools and build steps just to make a website" "But I don't want to give up all the convenience I'm used to" Sure, that's enough strawmen to pretend to justify this sillyness. Vue invented this phenomenal idea of a "Single file component". Where you break up your app into UI component chunks (separation of features), and within each component, there are 3 dedicated places for the 3 languages of the web. Each with their own focus (separation of concerns). Technically you can use Vue via a CDN and it works, but out of the box, they don't have a way to support these wonderful .vue files in the browser. So we need to pull in a library that can dynamically download .vue files on the fly, and also process them to regular J…  ( 6 min )

I remember the first time someone asked me to explain what "rendering" means in programming. I fumbled through a technical explanation about DOM trees and paint operations, and watched their eyes glaze over completely. That's when I realized I didn't really understand it myself - I just knew the buzzwords. After years of debugging sluggish animations and optimizing app performance, I've learned that rendering is actually a pretty straightforward concept once you strip away the jargon. Let me explain it the way I wish someone had explained it to me. At its core, rendering is just the process of turning your code into something visual on a screen. Think of it like a translator who takes your written instructions and turns them into pictures that users can actually see and interact with. When…  ( 6 min )

Hello everyone, I'm Frontend Xiaoga. Lately, I've noticed that AI has become quite unhelpful in my work. It often generates a lot of useless information or completely misunderstands what I mean. This happens because the problem isn't described clearly enough. It's like two strangers trying to communicate: if one speaks in riddles, the other will struggle to understand. However, we humans always hope the other person can read our minds, requiring minimal language for them to grasp our thoughts. That's why I created a prompt optimization tool. It can analyze our needs and tell us what information the AI requires to produce better results. More articles Let me give you an example. HolyShit!! It's only a slight improvement, but the optimizer provides an analysis of the problem. For instance, it tells us which variables are needed to generate a picture of a beautiful woman. We can then modify this structured prompt based on our preferences, like making her wear pink pants. LangChain try { const { modelName = "gemini", prompt = defaultPrompt } = options; const promptTemplate = ChatPromptTemplate.fromTemplate(prompt); const model = modelName === "cloudflare" ? this.cloudflareModel : this.googleModel; console.log("Creating RunnableSequence chain"); const chain = RunnableSequence.from([ { query: new RunnablePassthrough(), }, promptTemplate, model, new StringOutputParser(), ]); const result = await chain.invote(query); return result; } catch (error) {}  ( 3 min )

Introduction The Azure AI Language service enables you to define a conversational language understanding model that applications can use to interpret natural language input from users, predict the users intent (what they want to achieve), and identify any entities to which the intent should be applied. For example, a conversational language model for a clock application might be expected to process input such as: What is the time in London? This kind of input is an example of an utterance (something a user might say or type), for which the desired intent is to get the time in a specific location (an entity); in this case, London.

🌐Introduction In the ever-evolving world of cybersecurity, one truth stands strong: attackers will try to hide their tracks — often by deleting files, logs, or data traces. But deletion doesn’t mean destruction. That's where digital forensics steps in. And in my latest project, I dove headfirst into a hands-on recovery scenario that challenged me to retrieve deleted files from a compressed archive. The result? A deeper appreciation — and, frankly, an obsession — with the art of uncovering what isn't meant to be found. This post walks you through the full process, tools used, the learning outcomes, and why this kind of project is so critical in modern cybersecurity. 🚀 Background: From Burnout to Obsession 🧠 Studying for the CompTIA CySA+ certification 🛌 Recovering from a bout of sicknes…  ( 5 min )

Overview How difficult is it to achieve Unreal Engine-style procedural context debugging? Turns out, it might be easier than expected. In this dev log, we won't implement all the fancy animations or full-featured GUI yet, but we will derive a practical, functional debugger GUI. This interface allows users to step through a procedural program and observe its execution flow in real time. Procedural contexts are hard - not necessarily to implement (they're actually simpler than dataflow contexts in interpretative runtimes, where you just step over nodes), but hard for users. The main issue is statefulness: once there's state, there's the potential for mistakes, side effects, and confusion. From an implementation standpoint, the hard part is debugging. Without visibility into execution, it…  ( 5 min )

On Today's Agenda The Hackathon Opportunity: Why I Jumped In The Ultimate Low-Cost Tech Stack Let the Building Begin! From Image to UI The Hackathon Opportunity Bolt announced its Hackathon two months ago, but I only decided to join near the end. Partly because I used to think AI tools were like v0—not great for building UIs. Plus, I was already happy with my setup of Cursor and Windsurf. A year or two ago, AI code assistants were riddled with bugs, but they've gradually evolved to the point where they can now code the entire frontend. However, after trying out Loveable and Bolt, I feel like the options for UI generation have multiplied. The GitHub integration is incredibly fast for pushing code.

Single-threaded code already brings headaches. Add a second thread, it's a graduation from a basic headache. The fix? Mutexes: traffic cops for your threads and data. Working in both C++ and Go, I’ve run into all the usual chaos: Race conditions that sometimes swallow data Segfaults from threads trampling memory And the silent killer: deadlocks That last one’s the worst, no crash, no error. Just a dead program, stuck in an eternal thread standoff. But it all starts to click when you get the core idea behind a mutex. The best part? Every language speaks mutex: Go → sync.Mutex C++ → std::mutex Python → threading.Lock() Java → ReentrantLock In this post, I’ll break down mutexes as a concept, show you how deadlocks happen, and leave you with enough intuition to handle threaded code in…  ( 7 min )

Over the years, I’ve met countless individuals eager to transition into tech. They’re motivated, they’re taking courses, and they’re networking. But there’s often one key piece missing: they don’t know what niche in tech they want to go into. Recently, I participated in a webinar as a guest speaker, and this topic arose again. A recurring pattern emerged. People are diving into tech without a clear understanding of the diverse opportunities available or what roles suit them. And without that direction, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, lost, or like an impostor. If that sounds like you, I want you to know you’re not alone, and it’s okay not to have it all figured out right away. But the earlier you start exploring where your strengths and interests align, the easier it becomes to carve out yo…  ( 5 min )

why not bring that experience to the web? That’s how my personal site turned into a retro-style operating system UI — complete with pixel-art icons, draggable windows, fake file explorers, and nostalgic system sounds. The whole interface is built to feel like you're using a hybrid of Windows 98, early XP, and a bit of DOS for flavor. I designed (or curated) a custom sprite sheet of 24 pixel icons — from the classic My Computer to Minesweeper and floppy disks — all rendered in a consistent 16-bit pixel style with transparent backgrounds for web or game use.

If I had a dollar for every time someone has asked me, "I am not a natural-born writer, how can I get better at technical writing?", I'd probably own a private jet. My answer is to follow a technical writing process. Technical writing — just like every other creative process — is difficult, especially when you're writing about something new and unfamiliar (which is probably what you'll be doing most of the time as a technical writer). Even 'natural born' writers will struggle without a writing process. A writing process breaks the intimidating task of "TECHNICAL WRITING" into distinct steps that you can check off one by one to encourage the creation of content in a systematic way. Good writing requires planning and preparation. Based on my experience creating technical content (technical a…  ( 11 min )

The Problem Many patients who require specialty medications often struggle to find and complete the necessary enrollment forms. These forms are typically hosted on pharmaceutical websites, hidden within multiple tabs, or presented as complex PDFs with little guidance. This problem is particularly common for patients who are not tech-savvy or who are under financial stress. Even finding something as basic as the enrollment form for a drug like Olumiant can be a challenge. To solve this, I created StartForms.org, a simple static website that organizes and links directly to official enrollment forms for over 40 medications. The project uses a minimal tech stack, focusing on clarity and speed: Clean, mobile-friendly HTML and CSS Static pages hosted for fast loading Descriptive URLs and on-page SEO No login, no ads, no distractions Each form page includes a short description, eligibility notes, and an option to either fill the form online or download the PDF. If a patient needs the Olumiant Enrollment Form, they can access it directly here: Download the Olumiant Enrollment Form This page includes a preview, instructions for completion, and a link to print or save the official form. Creating a resource like this reaffirmed that: Simple, purpose-driven web pages still solve real problems Clear information architecture improves accessibility Patients benefit when we remove unnecessary complexity The plan is to continue expanding the number of supported medications and improve accessibility through: Multi-language support (starting with Spanish and Urdu) Categorization by condition or drug type Adding a lightweight JSON API for developers building similar tools Projects like this don’t require a full-stack framework or a large budget. A focused idea and clear execution are often enough. If you're working on projects that improve access to healthcare through technology, I’d love to connect and share insights.

What annotations are What beans are What the Spring container is What dependency injection is Why, when, how to use all of them Understanding Annotations, Beans, Spring Container & Dependency Injection in Spring Boot If you're learning Spring or Spring Boot, you’ll constantly hear terms like: @Component, @Autowired, @bean Spring container Dependency Injection (DI) Beans And how do they help make your application clean, modular, and powerful? ** What are Annotations in Spring?** In Spring, annotations are special markers (starting with @) that tell the Spring framework to do certain things automatically. In Spring, a Bean is just a Java object managed by the Spring container. For example: This MyService class becomes a Spring Bean because it’s annotated with @Component. The Spring container is the core of the Spring Framework. ** It is responsible for:** Creating objects (beans) Managing their lifecycle Injecting dependencies into them Configuring them based on annotations or XML Think of the container as the brain that runs your Spring app. How does it work? When your app starts: Spring scans your classes (like @Component, @Service) Creates and stores them in memory Connects everything together automatically What is Dependency Injection (DI)? Dependency Injection means that an object’s dependencies are provided (injected) from the outside, instead of the object creating them itself. Spring takes care of creating the object and injecting it where needed. Why Use Dependency Injection? Loose coupling – makes code easier to test and maintain Better modularity Cleaner code with fewer new keywords How Spring Does Dependency Injection Spring supports 3 types of DI: Spring will automatically create the Engine bean and inject it into Car.  ( 3 min )

But the scope of work for cyber security audits is bigger than just scanning. It includes: Scanning Stage - get information about possible vulnerabilities in the target. Attacking Stage - try to exploit vulnerabilities and prove our hypothesis from the scanning stage. Reporting Stage - create comprehensive report for company which requested audit to apply fixes. And to build this I tried to go with simple graph first but then realized that this approach is not flexible and violates "Single Responsibility" from SOLID. That's why I have built the pipeline of agents where each agent is…  ( 8 min )

Written By CortexFlow A few years ago, searching for something online essentially meant typing a few keywords and hoping the algorithm guessed what you meant. The results weren’t always wrong (they were actually pretty decent) but they were rarely right in the way you wanted. They didn’t understand context, or intent, or the quiet nuance behind a question. You basically searched for a book and just got a long list of titles. You asked a question and got a dump of related documents. Today, that’s changing very fast. Thanks to generative AI and powerful language models, our systems are becoming more than reactive engines. They’re starting to develop some forms of understanding. They can summarize, answer, reason, and even “remember”. But beneath this newfound intelligence lies a silent arch…  ( 6 min )

Still no live demo yet… but hit a major milestone today: DevConnect can now fetch GitHub repos and support image/video uploads—despite a hell of a learning curve! 🧑‍💻 What’s Working (So Far): ✅ GitHub Integration: DevConnect now fetches public repos from GitHub—it feels amazing to see real code showing up in the profile! ✅ Media Uploads: Image and video uploads work (thanks, Cloudinary), even though I accidentally uploaded test videos 30 times before fixing my file-path logic. ⚠️ Challenges Along the Way: 🐞 That ONE async bug: a missing await caused duplicate uploads—my Cloudinary account saw a surge in nonsense. Debugging that definitely earned me ☕. 🧩 State management chaos: toggling between Context & Redux Toolkit had me rethinking my approach—but it's in a solid place now. 🧭 UI polish: making responsive post cards look nice on mobile took way more effort than I expected. 🎯 Why Keep Building Blend social + code sharing—so devs don’t have to juggle GitHub and Twitter separately. Create an early beta community, whose feedback will help shape features like comments on repos and like buttons. Note: While there’s no live button yet, every bug fix and user test brings it closer. I’m also researching how to tease development publicly—informed by advice to build excitement early on 🧠. What feature matters most to you? Issues tracker? Project boards? Commenting on repos? Want to swing by the early demo?

The industry tried to gamify the workplace to make it more engaging. But have you noticed that we’ve ended up making games more like work instead? No matter how clearly we explain what we want, our system of rewards can undermine our efforts to improve. Incentive structures are common in the workplace, whether intentional or not. But when we introduce measures to boost productivity, they nearly always have the opposite effect. Not long ago, the industry tried to gamify the workplace to make it more engaging. But have you noticed that we’ve ended up making games more like work instead? Let’s explore productivity through the lens of gamification. Computer games can be a fun diversion, and a short time ago, businesses were told to gamify the workplace. People thought making work more like gam…  ( 5 min )

Recently, a client came to us with an unusual issue during their TFT LCD prototyping phase. Everything powered on correctly, the screen was displaying content — but the colors were completely off: washed-out contrast, heavy blue tint, and strange gradients. Their setup used an 18-bit RGB TFT display (6 bits per color: R[5:0], G[5:0], B[5:0]), but they were connecting it to a 24-bit RGB output (8 bits per color). They assumed the signals would “just work.” 🔍 Root Cause: This caused the GPU or controller to interpret the floating inputs as random values or logic highs, leading to abnormal gamma behavior and color distortion. ✅ Quick Fix: Mapping the higher 6 bits (R5–R0) of the 18-bit display to the upper 6 bits of each 8-bit color line (R7–R2, G7–G2, B7–B2) Tying the lower unused bits to ground The display instantly rendered clean, accurate color. 🧠 Takeaway: I'm part of a team that focuses on small-to-medium TFT LCD modules and system integration (touch + PCB). I'll be sharing practical tips like this from real projects — hope it helps someone in their next hardware build!  ( 3 min )

In the world of RESTful APIs, the concept of a resource is central to designing intuitive and scalable systems. A well-thought-out resource naming strategy will make your API easy to understand and maintain.

In 2021, I was deep in Salesforce development, reviewing pull requests, fixing edge cases, and trying to ship clean code. AI code reviews weren’t a thing back then. A few years ago, code reviews meant reading every line closely, juggling context across files, bugging other developers for explainers, and dropping comments that often went unnoticed. Then in 2025, I joined Bito.ai. It’s been more than 5 months, and I’ve been using Bito’s AI Code Review Agent on real pull requests. I came across Amar Goel, Bito’s cofounder and CEO, while I was working in technical writing and developer marketing. We started talking, and he shared what they were building. An AI agent that reviews pull requests in GitHub without storing your code. That felt so cool. I kept thinking about 2021. Back then,…  ( 8 min )

What Is JSON? JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight format for storing and exchanging data. It looks like structured text using key-value pairs, and it's easy for both humans and machines to read. Example: { "name": "Paris", "population": 2148000, "area": 105.4 } PostgreSQL supports two ways to store structured data in a column: JSON and JSONB. JSON stores the data as plain text. It’s readable but slower for queries. JSONB stores the same data in binary format. It’s faster, allows indexing, and supports advanced filtering. The main advantage of using JSONB is that you can query individual fields inside the JSON structure using SQL. You can also sort, filter, and index values without splitting your data into multiple tables. For example, instead of creating a separate…  ( 6 min )

As AI is growing, traditional AI, multimodal AI, and edge AI represent distinct approaches with unique strengths. Here's a comparison to help developers understand their differences. What is Traditional AI? Task-specific: Built for narrow functions like classification or prediction. Centralised: Runs on cloud or server-based systems. Single-modality: Processes one data type (e.g., text or numbers). Reactive: Relies on pre-trained models or rules. What is Multimodal AI? Cross-modal: Handles text, images, audio, or video. Creative: Generates novel content like artwork or stories. Flexible: Adapts to diverse tasks with contextual understanding. Cloud-heavy: Often requires significant computational resources. What is Edge AI? Localised: Runs on edge devices for low-latency performance. Resource-efficient: Optimised for limited computing and power. Privacy-focused: Processes data locally, reducing cloud data transfers. Task-specific: Often tailored for real-time applications. Why It Matters Traditional AI excels in structured, repetitive tasks but lacks flexibility. Multimodal AI drives innovation in creative and cross-domain applications, ideal for developers building next-gen tools. Edge AI enables fast, private, and efficient solutions for IoT and mobile apps. Understanding these differences helps developers choose the right AI approach for their projects, whether it's automating workflows, creating multimedia content, or powering smart devices.  ( 3 min )

A Chat with the Fox in the Dunes What Is a Variable Resistor? (The Wind-Tamer of Circuits) A variable resistor (or potentiometer/rheostat) is no ordinary component. It’s a chameleon of electronics—a knob, a slider, a tiny dial—built to adjust resistance on the fly. Unlike fixed resistors (stiff as old fence posts), it bends with the current, like a willow in a storm. Potentiometer (Pot): Three terminals, like three friends. It splits voltage—think of it as a volume knob for electrons, turning a roar into a whisper (or a whisper into a song). Core Superpower: Resistance ranges from 0Ω to 10 million ohms. No soldering, no spells—just twist, and the circuit bends to your will. Symbols & Secrets: The Language of Knobs Variable resistors speak in symbols—simple, but full of stories.

Power Pages uses the Bootstrap DateTimePicker library to render date and time fields on forms. This library offers a wide range of methods to customize and control the behavior of the date picker widget. To programmatically interact with the date picker, you can use jQuery to retrieve the DateTimePicker object associated with a specific field. Use the following code to get the instance of the date picker object. $("#field_id").next().data("DateTimePicker") Here, field_id is the schema name of the field. Once you have the DateTimePicker object, you can easily apply various configurations. For example, to disable future dates from the date picker widget use the following code – $("#field_id").next().data("DateTimePicker").maxDate(moment()) You can also set specific date ranges to select. For example, to limit the date picker to only allow selecting dates within 7 days before and after today, creating a 14-day selectable range. var datePicker = $("#field_id").next().data("DateTimePicker") datePicker.minDate(moment().subtract(7, 'days')) datePicker.maxDate(moment().add(7, 'days')) As you can see in the image below, only dates within 7 days before and after 16th May are selectable. You can refer to the official Bootstrap DateTimePicker documentation for a complete list of methods and customization options.  ( 3 min )

It’s estimated that 80–90% of the world’s data is unstructured, with text files and documents making up a big chunk of it. Invoices are a perfect example of this chaos. Each vendor uses a different layout, with formats and terminology that vary wildly across industries. Totals might appear in headers, footers, or hidden deep in tables. Then there are smudged scans, odd fonts, and delivery charges mixed with line items. It didn’t take long for us to see why traditional systems built on regexes and static templates struggled to keep up. About a year ago, we hit a wall with invoice processing.

But on a shared or internet-facing server, this can be the first sign of a breach. I learned this the hard way after noticing strange sudo activity from a user I never created. Here’s how I now monitor all user creations and how you can set up real-time email alerts on both Ubuntu and Red Hat. Why You Should Care About New Users A newly created user with sudo access can: Install malware Pivot into lateral movement Hide activity using rootkits Even without sudo, attackers use fake users for persistence — so catching it early is key. Monitor /etc/passwd in Real Time Using auditd Install auditd: # Ubuntusudo apt install auditd -y # Red Hatsudo yum install audit -y Create an audit rule: sudo auditctl -w /etc/passwd -p wa -k useradd-watch This tells the system to watch for writes/appends to /etc/passwd.

Member-only story -- Share Intro: You’ve isolated the server. You’ve grabbed the logs. You’re scanning for malware. But if you skip checking the sudoers.d directory, you might miss the real backdoor. In this post, I’ll explain why attackers love /etc/sudoers.d, how they use it to persist silently, and what I do to catch and clean it up. Unlike the main /etc/sudoers file, which is usually locked down and audited, the sudoers.d directory is often overlooked. Any file placed there with relaxed rules can silently grant root privileges — without changing the main sudo configuration. ✅ What attackers do: They drop a file like /etc/sudoers.d/xyz with a line like: hackeruser ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL This gives their user full sudo access without a password — even after reboots. Run: sudo ls -l /etc/sudoers.d/ Then inspect each file’s content: sudo cat /etc/sudoers.d/ Look for: Unknown usernames Read Full Blog on Medium Here  ( 3 min )

When designing APIs and data models, I prefer simplicity and avoid ambiguity. For date and time, programmers like using epoch time. This is the number of seconds or milliseconds since January 1, 1970. It requires just one integer field, making it easy to compare and manipulate. My favourite geek joke is that the world should switch from measuring time in hours and months to using megaseconds and gigaseconds. APIs are often crafted by backend developers who aim for simplicity. Sending epoch times as integers might be harsh. However, even if using the more human-readable ISO string format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH....), requiring all time fields to be in UTC is just shifting responsibility onto others. Relying on the client to handle time zone conversion can lead to issues, especially if the time is en…  ( 4 min )

How to Switch Between Installed PHP Versions on Linux Ibrahim ・ Jul 8 #linux #php #bash #cli  ( 2 min )

On a Linux system, it's possible to have multiple PHP versions installed. To see the list of installed PHP versions, use the sudo update-alternatives --list php command. For example: sudo update-alternatives --list php # /usr/bin/php5.6 # /usr/bin/php7.4 # /usr/bin/php8.2 # /usr/bin/php8.3 As shown in the output, there are 4 installed PHP versions. To check which PHP version is currently used by default, use the php --version command. For example: php --version # PHP 8.3.14 (cli) (built: Nov 25 2024 18:07:16) (NTS) # Copyright (c) The PHP Group # Zend Engine v4.3.14, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies # with Zend OPcache v8.3.14, Copyright (c), by Zend Technologies To switch the default PHP version, use the sudo update-alternatives --config php command.

Terraform Cognito Identity: A Production Deep Dive The challenge is consistent, secure, and auditable access to cloud resources for applications and users. Traditional methods – hardcoded credentials, manual IAM management – are brittle, error-prone, and a security nightmare. Modern infrastructure demands a programmatic, version-controlled approach. Terraform, as the leading Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool, provides the foundation. However, managing complex identity scenarios, especially those involving federated identities and temporary credentials, requires specialized tooling. This is where Terraform’s integration with Cognito Identity becomes critical. It fits squarely within a modern IaC pipeline, often as a foundational component managed by a platform engineering team, providing …  ( 8 min )

TypeScript is packed with features that make coding more robust and enjoyable. While many focus on types and interfaces, here are some lesser-known TypeScript concepts that can transform how you write code. Let’s dive into these hidden gems ⬇️! The never type represents values that never occur, like functions that throw errors or never return. It’s great for exhaustive checks in unions. function fail(message: string): never { throw new Error(message); } type Shape = "circle" | "square"; function getShape(shape: Shape) { switch (shape) { case "circle": return "Round"; case "square": return "Square"; default: const _exhaustiveCheck: never = shape; } } Unlike any, the unknown type is a safer alternative for values with unknown types. You must narrow it before using, ensuring type safe…  ( 4 min )

Background I've been experimenting with Google's AI video generator "Veo3" and wanted to upload the videos to YouTube. But I hit a problem: Veo3 can't create vertical videos (shorts format) I have zero video editing experience I needed a quick solution I didn't want to install video editing software just for cropping, so I came up with the idea of a simple tool that only does cropping. I used Short Crop to convert a Veo3 video and uploaded it as a YouTube Short: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RKaaihBrj4Q Instead of learning video editing software or setting up a complex backend, I decided to build a web-based converter with Claude Code.

I Built a YouTube Livestream Bot Used by Big Creators – Now I Need Help Keeping It Alive Hi Devs 👋 I wanted to share a little open source project I've been working on: it's called Tsnip, and it's already being used by some big YouTube streamers — like @RakaZoneGaming (506K subs), @Exion (94K), and @BloodLineYT (63K). Tsnip is a YouTube livestream bot that lets viewers save epic moments in real-time by typing !ts in chat. Behind the scenes, Tsnip receives requests via Nightbot, and after the stream ends, it automatically comments all saved moments back onto the YouTube video — so creators (and their communities) can revisit the highlights without having to rewatch the whole thing. No editing. No scrubbing through 3-hour VODs. Just raw moments, saved collaboratively by the chat. This started as a small personal tool, but after sharing it with a few creators, it spread fast. Now, streamers are using it to let their viewers "co-create" content highlights — and it's improving community interaction too. Used by: @RakaZoneGaming (506K subs) @Exion (94K subs) @BloodLineYT (63K subs) ...and many more Mentioned in README.md GitHub: https://github.com/jaypatel208/tsnip.git 💸 Why I Need Support As usage grows, so do the costs — YouTube API quota upgrades, Vercel usage, etc. I want to keep Tsnip free and open-source for the community, but I’ll need help sustaining the infrastructure long-term. If you like what I’m doing and want to support it, consider becoming an early sponsor via GitHub Sponsors. Every bit helps! ⭐ Star the repo: https://github.com/jaypatel208/tsnip.git 🧪 Try the bot if you're a creator 🤝 Sponsor if you believe in open tooling for creators 📣 Share it with someone who streams! 📖 Read the full story on Medium - Learn about the journey behind Tsnip Thanks for reading. Would love to hear your feedback or ideas on how to make Tsnip even better! – Jay (@jaypatel208)  ( 4 min )

Ah. I faced a problem in my 25. I often watch YouTube via my PC, but unfortunately I need to eat sometimes in my kitchen. This is not a reason to turn the video off - it's rather the opposite. So there are 2 ways: Copy the video's link on PC, send it to Android, wait until it fully loads, rewind the video to the moment I stopped at and continue viewing. I manage to finish my food doing this. Share the PC screen with Android and continue viewing seemlessly. Providing that you have bluetooth headphones. What I do. The simplest way is Deskreen.

It was around 11:47 PM on a random Tuesday night when I stared at the same LeetCode problem for the third hour in a row. “Hard” problems had started feeling less like a challenge and more like mental torture. I was tired. Not just physically, but deeply and spiritually tired of chasing a number on a profile. That night, I closed the LeetCode tab, stepped away from the screen, and told myself: “I quit LeetCode.” But the story doesn’t end there. Strangely, it was the moment I quit LeetCode that I actually started getting better at real coding. Let me take you through that journey. When I started LeetCode, it felt like a rite of passage. Like many aspiring software engineers, I was bombarded by the narrative: “You NEED to grind LeetCode to get into FAANG.” It sounded reasonable. After all, so…  ( 7 min )

Teamwork in Motion – CSS Art Tribute to Office Culture This is a submission for Frontend Challenge: Office Edition sponsored by Axero, CSS Art: Office Culture. I wanted to capture the essence of everyday office life — the little things that make a workplace feel human: hallway chats, shared mugs, sticky notes, plants, and that classic water cooler. This piece, titled "Teamwork in Motion," is a lighthearted tribute to those simple yet meaningful moments. I was especially inspired by both real offices and the fictional ones that stick in our minds, like Dunder Mifflin. You can find the code and project files inside the repository: GitHub Repository: https://github.com/Discovered12345/CSS-Office-Art If you'd like to host or embed it, feel free to use CodePen or GitHub Pages. The entire scene is created using only HTML and CSS — no JavaScript or external libraries involved. This project was built entirely with semantic HTML and CSS, using only 358 lines of code to create a complete office scene. Every element — from the 18px-wide coffee mug handle to the 45px-tall characters — was crafted with box-model fundamentals: /* Example of CSS craftsmanship */ .head { width: 45px; height: 45px; background: linear-gradient(to bottom, #ffccbc, #d7ccc8); border-radius: 50%; /* Created facial features with ::before/::after */ } I grant Axero a worldwide, royalty-free license to display this project for promotional or marketing purposes, with credit.

You're given a list of events, each defined by a start day, end day, and value. You can attend at most k events, and events cannot overlap (inclusive on end day). Your goal is to choose a combination of events to maximize the total value. This is a dynamic programming problem with sorting and binary search. The strategy involves: Sorting the events by start day. Using memoization to track the best value at each step. For each event, choose to either: Skip it. Attend it and move to the next non-overlapping event. The trick is efficiently finding the next non-overlapping event using binary search. class Solution { public: static uint32_t maxValue(const std::span> in_events, const uint32_t k) { const uint32_t num_events = in_eve…  ( 5 min )

Hey #DEVCommunity! It's a beautiful Tuesday here in Victorias City, Negros Occidental, and as I look out at the sugarcane fields, it gets me thinking about how our local context here in the Philippines connects to the global tech landscape. Specifically, I've been reflecting a lot on sustainable tech and how it's not just a Silicon Valley concept, but something incredibly relevant, even here in our province. For a long time, the focus in our local tech scene has rightly been on building skills, securing remote work, and contributing to the digital economy. But as more of us, myself included, delve deeper into cloud computing, data science, and even local initiatives, the environmental footprint of our digital lives becomes more apparent.

Hey devs! 👋 A solid project structure saves time, avoids bugs, and makes scaling easier. Whether you're solo or on a team, here's how to keep your codebase clean and scalable! 🚀 🧱 1. Use a Modular Folder Structure Split your project into feature-based or domain-based modules. Example: /src /auth /dashboard /shared /utils ✅ Easier to scale and navigate 📦 2. Group by Feature, Not by Type Instead of grouping files by type (components, services, etc.), group them by feature. Before: /components /services /pages After (Better): /profile ProfilePage.tsx profileService.ts profileSlice.ts ✅ Everything related stays together 🧩 3. Isolate Shared & Common Code Create dedicated folders like /shared, /common, or /lib for reusable logic, components, and helpers. ✅ Keeps DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) 🛠️ 4. Standardize Naming Conventions Stick to consistent naming for files, components, and folders. Examples: camelCase for variables/functions PascalCase for components kebab-case for file names (optional but consistent) ✅ Makes collaboration smoother 🧪 5. Co-locate Tests with Code Place test files next to the code they test. Example: /auth login.ts login.test.ts ✅ Easier to find and maintain 🚦 6. Use Index Files for Cleaner Imports Use index.ts files in folders to simplify imports: Instead of: import { LoginForm } from '../../auth/components/LoginForm'; Use: import { LoginForm } from '@/auth'; ✅ Cleaner imports 📐 7. Separate Config and Environment Files Keep config, environment, and constants in their own folders. /config /env /constants ✅ Keeps app logic clean 📈 Bonus: Keep It Evolving Your structure doesn’t have to be perfect from day one. It should grow and adapt with the project. ✅ Start simple 💬 What’s your favorite project structure tip? Share it below! 👇  ( 4 min )

For farmers, gardeners, and ranchers, protecting crops and livestock from pests is a daily challenge. Pesticides are often a key tool in achieving this, but they also frequently face public scrutiny and a lot of misinformation.

Today's Focus: Performance Improvements Based on Lighthouse Audit Following feedback from Lighthouse, I tackled several areas to improve performance, accessibility, and overall user experience. Button Component Unification To reduce redundancy and ensure consistent behavior and styling, I consolidated button components into a single shared version. This simplifies the codebase and helps enforce a consistent UI across the app. Replacing Hero Video with Preloaded Image The hero section previously used a video background, which delayed the First Contentful Paint (FCP). To improve load times, I replaced the video with a preloaded static image as a placeholder. This allows users to see something immediately while heavier content loads in the background. JS-to-CSS Gallery Refactor I replaced the JavaScript-based gallery implementation with a pure CSS version. This not only reduces bundle size but also improves performance and maintainability. Tomorrow’s Plan: Continue Optimization I’ll continue addressing Lighthouse’s suggestions and explore additional enhancements to reduce layout shifts, improve asset delivery, and optimize image handling. Performance tuning is an ongoing process — every millisecond counts when it comes to user experience. tags: nextjs, performance, lighthouse, frontend, css  ( 3 min )

This is a submission for the World's Largest Hackathon Writing Challenge: Building with Bolt. Just finished the World's Largest Hackathon with Bolt! With zero frontend experience and just before starting a new job, I went all-in: 100+ hours of YouTube tutorials, learning the SOTA in vibe coding, agentic frameworks, and how teenagers are cranking out text-to-25k MRR apps during their lunch breaks 🫠 Key learnings? Generic building = generic sites. Use components from 21st.dev, shadcn, react-bits, anime.js, tweakcn to really stand out Your final product won't match your vision—embrace it! AI agents LOVE overwriting your work. Save often, discuss changes first, don't be afraid to modify the code directly It costs more to use a cheaper model. Upgrading to Claude sonnet 4, saved me 10x the iterations. Game changer. BUILD ONE FEATURE AT A TIME. Building too much create AI confusion. Make a plan, and tackle each step one by one (consider using context engineering and PRPs) Go with the FLOW. I ended up pivoting mid way because my previous idea was scooped by Freysa.ai's Enchanted Product 😣 That's ok, the integration with Reddit came in handy!! (You can see where the pivot happened here) I realized the hardest problem was to find an idea...and may be that's where the opportunity is. If tech barrier is lower, then quality of idea and identifying target markets become more important. What did I actually build!? If you're curious about my project, head to https://stribe.me and ask it about your next big idea. It's free to try. Your customers could be waiting for you.
